Korahe (Somali: Qoraxeey) is one of eleven Zones of the Somali Region of Ethiopia. Korahe is bordered on the southwest by the Shabeele Zone, on the northwest by Erer Zone, on the north by Jarar Zone, on the east by Doolo Zone, and on the southeast by Somalia's federal state of Galmudug. The largest city in Korahe is Kabridahar.

The gas fields of Calub, Eleele, Banka Qoraxey and Dar Balayo Dar Shekosh, Elka Shilaabo (Ban Watte) lie in this Zone, making local petrochemical extraction a potentially important industry.
