Dzheyrakh (, ; ) is a village and the administrative center of Dzheyrakhsky District, in the Republic of Ingushetia, Russia.
== Etymology == The name "Dzheyrakh" is associated with the Arabic name Jarrah ("inflicting wounds"). According to Suleymanov, the name of the village is associated with Arab military commander Djarakh ibn Abadallah al-Khakami, who was a vicar of the Arab caliph in Armenia and northern Iran between 724 and 730 A.D. According to the notion, Al-Jarrah ibn Abdallah led military campaign in the Northern Caucasus through the Darial Gorge. A connection with the word Ingush zhar (жӏар) — cross, is also possible.
