Kureyşan or Koreşan (Zaza and Kurdish: Kurêşan; Turkish Kureyşan) are an Alevi-Qizilbash community and religious lineage (ocak) primarily settled in the Tunceli region of Turkey. While some historical studies link the tribe to the Beğdili clan of the Oghuz Turks, within the Alevi faith, the Kureyşan are revered as evlad-ı resul (descendants of the Islamic prophet Muhammad), tracing their spiritual and biological lineage to the Ahl al-Bayt.
