Trese (Tagalog: [ˈtrɛsɛ]) is a Filipino komik series written by Budjette Tan and illustrated by Kajo Baldisimo. It tells the story of Alexandra Trese, a detective who deals with crimes of supernatural origin.[1] Its first issue was published on October 22, 2005, starting off as a niche work which grew in popularity as readers were intrigued first by the first two volumes' focus on Manila's urban legends, and then by the later volumes' development of Alexandra Trese as a character.[2][3] The series went on to win several accolades.

An animated adaptation for Netflix premiered on June 11, 2021, and has both Tan and Baldisimo as its showrunners and Jay Oliva as executive director.[4][5]
