The Dzherakh, also spelled Jerakh (Ingush: ЖӀайрахой, romanized: Žyajraxoj), historically also known as Erokhan people, were a historical Ingush ethno-territorial society, today existing as a tribal organisation or clan (teip), originally formed in the Dzheyrakhin gorge, as well as in the lower reaches of the Armkhi River and the upper reaches of the Terek River.
The Dzherakhs first appeared in Russian sources in the 16th century under the name Erokhan people (Russian: Ероханские люди, romanized: Erokhanskie lyudi).
