Isador Henry Coriat (December 10, 1875 – May 26, 1943) was an American psychiatrist and neurologist of Moroccan descent. He was one of the first American psychoanalysts.[1] .

He was born in Philadelphia in 1875 as the son of Hyram Coriat and Clara née Einstein.[2] He was of Moroccan descent on father's side and German on mother's side. He grew up in Boston and attended Tufts Medical School, graduating in 1900.[3]

He was one of the founders of Boston Psychoanalytic Society, the first secretary in 1914 and president in years 1930-32. Coriat was the only Freudian analyst in Boston during the period after James Jackson Putnam's death.[4]

Coriat worked with the Rev. Elwood Worcester, served as the medical expert for the Emmanuel Movement and co-authored Religion and Medicine; The Moral Control of Nervous Disorders.

Coriat married Etta Dann in 1910. He died on May 26, 1943, after a brief illness.
