Kurekchay (Azerbaijani: Kürəkçay) is one of the tributaries of the Kura River located in northwestern part of Republic of Azerbaijan.

On 14 May 1805, on the bank of the river (not far from Ganja), the signing of the Kurekchay Treaty took place, which transferred the Karabakh Khanate under Russian dominion.
