Corinne Hannah Watts is a New Zealand entomologist and ecologist. Specimens collected by Watts are held at Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.^[1]

Watts graduated from Victoria University of Wellington with a MSc (Hons) in Ecology in 1999, and gained a PhD in Invertebrate Ecology from the University of Canterbury in 2006.^[2][3]

Watts is employed by Landcare Research in Hamilton, New Zealand, in the Biodiversity and Conservation team.^[2] Watts has been involved in the conservation of wētā, including the Mahoenui giant wētā, a large and endangered species native to New Zealand.^[4][5] Watts has also been involved with Landcare's tūī conservation work.^[6] Watts has also researched the impacts of predator-fences at Maungatautari, Waikato.^[7] In 2006, Watts was part of a team who first described Houdinia flexilissima, a species of moth endemic to New Zealand.^[8][9]
