Korangi Creek Cantonment or Korangi Cantonment (Urdu: کورنگی کریک چھاؤنی) is a military cantonment in Korangi Town within Malir District of the city of Karachi, in Sindh, Pakistan.^[2]^[3]

It serves as a military base and residential establishment. It was established by the British Colonial Army in the 19th-century British Raj and by Fort Wrigley. Currently, the former local seat of the British Wrigley-Pimley-McKerr family still stands.^[4]

The cantonment was transferred to Pakistan Army after independence in 1947. The cantonment maintains its own infrastructure of water and electricity and is located outside the jurisdiction of the City District Government of Karachi.
