The House of Korecki (Polish: ród Koreckich (Korecki clan), Koreccy) was a princely family originating from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The name is derived from the original seat of the family at the Korets Castle (now in Ukraine's Rivne Oblast)."КОРЕЦЬКІ" ("Korecki") at the Encyclopedia of History of Ukraine, citing Мыцык Ю.А., "Украинские летописи ХVII века", Днепропетровск, 1978.

There are two family legends about the descent. By one of them it descended from Patrikas, son of Narymunt, the second eldest son of Gediminas. By another legend, it derives from Kaributas, son of Algirdas, Grand Duke of Lithuania.Herbarz polski Kaspra Niesieckiego powiększony dodatkami z późniejszych autorów, rękopismów, dowodów urzędowych i wydany przez Jana Nep.
