Packard's Corner is located in Boston, Massachusetts at the intersection of Commonwealth Avenue and Brighton Avenue. Packard's Corner is also the name of a stop on the B Line of the MBTA'sGreen Line, a light-rail line that runs mostly above ground. According to the Brighton-Allston Historical Society, the name comes from Packard's Sales Stable and Riding School which existed in the area from 1885 through 1920, and was perpetuated by the Packard automobile dealership that was built in 1910.

Packard's Corner is close to Boston University, Boston College and Harvard University making it, and neighboring Allston, very popular with college students.

Parkard's Corner is also the name of the intersection of Broadway, Bennett Ave., and Nagel Ave., in the Upper Manhattan neighborhood of Washington Heights. Like in Boston, the building occupying the corner block once housed a Packard's automobile dealership.
