Trèbes (; ) is a commune in the Aude department, southern France. It is around 7 km east of the centre of Carcassonne.

==History== Located on an important river crossing, Trèbes was originally known as Tresmals (Three Fords) but in 1110 residents petitioned for the name to be changed to Trèbes (Three Goods) since Tresmals could also be parsed as "Three Evils".
