Feras (em grego: Φεραί, transl. Pheraí) foi uma antiga cidade grega situada no sudeste da Tessália. Na mitologia grega era o lar do rei Admeto, cuja esposa, Alceste, teria sido resgatada do Hades por Héracles. Historicamente, eram de lá os tiranos Jasão e Alexandre de Feras, do século IV a.C., que assumiram o controle de boa parte da Tessália antes de serem derrotados por Tebas. Localizava-se nas proximidades da atual cidade de , na prefeitura da Magnésia.
