Fatezh () is a town and the administrative center of Fatezhsky District in Kursk Oblast, Russia, located on the Usozha River north of Kursk, the administrative center of the oblast. Population: 4,959 (1897).
==History and etymology== It was founded as a village in the 17th century and granted town status in 1779. Fatezh took its name from a local stream; the etymology is uncertain, but it may be based on the given names Foty or Iosafat in diminutive form (place names in -ezh are common in the region). During World War II, Fatezh was occupied by German troops from October 22, 1941 to February 7, 1943.
