Peleces or Pelekes ( Ancient Greek: Πήληκες, romanizedPēlēkes) 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]
