Packard's Corner is located in Boston, Massachusetts at the intersection of Commonwealth Avenue and Brighton Avenue. Packard's Corner is serviced by the Packards Corner stop on the B branch of the MBTA's Green Line, a light rail line that runs mostly above ground.

According to the Brighton Allston Historical Society, the name comes from a livery yard, Packard's Sales Stable and Riding School, which existed in the area from 1885 through 1920, and was perpetuated by a Packard automobile dealership that was built by Alvan T. Fuller circa 1910.[http://www.bahistory.org/PackCornHist.html "Packard's Corner History"], Brighton Allston Historical Society, Accessed 2009-02-09

The former A branch once forked with the B line at Packard's Corner where the A line continued onto Brighton Avenue towards Allston's Union Square.
