In [[computer science]], a '''left corner parser''' is a type of [[chart parser]] used for parsing [[context-free grammars]]. It combines the top-down and bottom-up approaches of parsing. The name derives from the use of the [[left corner]] of the grammar's production rules.

An early description of a left corner parser is "A Syntax-Oriented Translator" by Peter Zilahy Ingerman.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Ingerman|first1=Peter Zilahy|title=A Syntax-Oriented Translator|date=1966|publisher=[[Academic Press]]|___location=[[New York City]]|isbn=978-1483254296|accessdate=2 January 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last1=Grune|first1=Dick|last2=Jacobs|first2=Ceriel J.H.|authorlink1=Dick Grune|editor1-last=Gries|editor1-first=David|editor2-last=Schneider|editor2-first=Fred B.|editor1-link=David Gries|editor2-link=Fred B.
