Trigonometric parallaxes are reported for ten bright, southern late-type MK giant stars. The plate material was obtained with the 66 cm Yale-Columbia refractor at the Mt. Stromlo Observatory and measured with the PDS 1010A at Mt. Stromlo. The ten stars include HR 794 (KO III), HR 1247 (M2 IIIab), HR 2245 (M2.5 III), HR 2773 (K3 Ib), HR 3518 (K3 III), HR 3803 (K5 III), HR 5287 (K2 III-IIIb), HR 5603 (M3 IIIa), HR 6832 (M3.5 III), and HR 6913 (K1 IIIb). The modern parallaxes are compared with earlier results and the luminosity calibration for these stars is discussed.
