The Kerka (Slovene: Krka, Hungarian: Kerka,[1] Kerkás, Prekmurje Slovene: Kerka) is a river of Slovenia and Hungary. It is a left tributary of the Ledava near Kerkaszentkirály. In its upper course, upstream from its confluence with the Little Kerka (Slovene: Mala Krka, Hungarian: Kerca, Kis-Kerka[2]) south of Bajánsenye, it is also called Big Kerka (Slovene: Velika Krka, Hungarian: Nagy-Kerka, Prekmurje Slovene: Velka Kerka).
