Peleces or Pelekes (Ancient Greek: Πήληκες, romanized: Pēlēkes) were three demoi of ancient Attica, forming a community, as τρίκωμοι,^[1] and probably, therefore, adjacent. If the reading in Thucydides is correct, διὰ Κρωπειᾶς,^[2] these demoi should be placed in the north of the Athenian plain, but many editors read διὰ Κεκροπίας.

The site of Peleces is tentatively located near modern Chasia.^[3]^[4]
