Koreiz ( _uk. Кореїз, _ru. Кореиз, _cr. Koreiz) is a townlet in the Yalta region of Crimea. The name of the town means "villages" in Greek language. The nearby spa of Miskhor was absorbed into Koreiz in 1958.

Koreiz is best known as the site of two palaces. The palace of Grand Duke Peter Nicolaievich of Russia, known as Dulber ("dülber" is Crimean Tatar for "beautiful"), is an asymmetrical architectural extravanganza with crenellated walls, silver domes, and more than 100 rooms, inspired by the Mameluk architecture of 15th-century Cairo. This palace was built between 1895 and 1897.

The Yusupov Palace was built for Prince Felix Yusupov in 1909 by an architect responsible for the imperial Livadia Palace in nearby Yalta. The palace, whose style may be described as Moorish Revival, boasts a romantic park with exotic plants and a wine cellar founded by Prince Lev Galitzine in the 19th century. After the Russian Revolution of 1917, the palace was nationalized and served as Stalin's favourite dacha, during the Yalta Conference and at other times.
