The Corbino effect, named after its discoverer [[Orso Mario Corbino]], is a phenomenon involving the Hall effect, but a disc-shaped metal sample is used in place of a rectangular one. Because of its shape the Corbino disc allows the observation of Hall effect–based [[magnetoresistance]] without the associated Hall voltage.

A radial current through a circular disc, subjected to a magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the disc, produces a "circular" current through the disc. The absence of the free transverse boundaries renders the interpretation of the Corbino effect simpler than that of the Hall effect.<ref name="Adams1915">{{Cite journal|title=The Hall and Corbino effects|journal=Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society|year=1915|first=E.
