The Corrino Empire, also known as the Corrino Imperium or simply the Imperium and later the Old Imperium, was a galactic-wide empire ruled by House Corrino and maintained by various forces including the Landsraad, the Spacing Guild and CHOAM.

The empire was established in the year 88 BG following the Battle of Corrin, and lasted until Paul Atreides usurped Shaddam Corrino IV after the epochal Arrakis Revolt and founded the replacing Atreides Empire in 10196 AG. The seat of power of the Imperium was initially the planet Salusa Secundus, the traditional home of House Corrino. However, it was later moved to Kaitain.

The Corrino Empire provided a socioeconomic and political framework within which the Faufreluches class system operated.
