Koretište (Serbian Cyrillic: Коретиште; erroneously Kuretište (Куретиште)[2]) or Koretishti (Albanian: Koretishtë), is a village in the municipality of Gjilan in Kosovo. It is inhabited by a majority of ethnic Serbs.[3]

The village was mentioned in the Ottoman defter of 1455 of the Vlk Vilayet (Vilayet of Vuk), encompassing most of Vuk Branković's former territory. At that time the village was populated exclusively by Serbs, living in 14 households.[4]
