The Körös-ér (Hungarian, also Kőrös-patak), Kireš or Kereš (), is a river in southern Hungary and northern Serbia, a right tributary to the Tisa river. It flows entirely within the Bačka border region: in Hungary, as a border river and in Serbia (roughly, as different authors give different data).

== Hungary == The Körös-ér springs in the Hungarian part of the Subotička Peščara, between the towns of Jánoshalma and Kiskunhalas. It flows to the southeast, more as a series of connected bogs and less as a real river, without almost any settlements on its banks. West of the village of Kelebia, the Körös-ér becomes a border river between Hungary and Serbia.
