'''Cory Buckner''' is an American architect. Buckner's focus has been on restoration architecture. She received a B.F.A. from the Chouinard Art Institute and a M.Arch. from the University of California, Los Angeles.

Buckner is noted for her architectural and restoration projects in the Crestwood Hills section of Los Angeles.[[Cory Buckner#cite note-DW1-1|^[1]]][[Cory Buckner#cite note-LAT1-2|^[2]]][[Cory Buckner#cite note-LAT2-3|^[3]]]

Working with her husband, Nick Roberts, they both restored a home that was purchased in Crestwood Hills, but after restoring the house, they both led a preservation movement in the neighborhood. This was a part of a housing cooperative called Mutual Housing Association. Fifteen of the 30 remaining houses are considered Historic/Cultural Monuments in Los Angeles.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.midcenturyhome.com/cory-buckner-mid-century-riley-residence/|title=Mid-Century Treasures: The Restoration of The Riley Residence - Mid Century Home|date=2018-04-23|work=Mid Century Home|access-date=2018-06-15|language=en-US}}</ref>
