The Corrèze (Occitan: Corresa) is a river in southwestern France, left tributary of the Vézère river. The Corrèze department is named after this river.

The Corrèze river has a length of 94.6 km (58.8 mi) and a drainage basin with an area of 1,158 km² (447 sq mi).^[1]

Its average yearly discharge is 21 m³/s (740 cu ft/s) at Brive-la-Gaillarde in the Corrèze department.^[2]

The source of the Corrèze is in northwestern Massif Central, in the plateau of Millevaches, to the south of the commune of Pérols-sur-Vézère, in the Corrèze department, at an altitude of 910 m (2,986 ft).^[3]

It flows through the communes of Corrèze and Tulle. Then it flows into the plain in the southwest of the department and flows through the communes of Malemort-sur-Corrèze and Brive-la-Gaillarde.

Finally, west of Brive-la-Gaillarde, it flows into the Vézère river at the limit between Saint-Pantaléon-de-Larche and Ussac, at 98 m (322 ft) of altitude.^[4]

The Corrèze river flows through 24 communes, all in the Corrèze department.^[1]
