'''Palekh''' ({{lang-ru|Пáлех}}) is an [[urban-type settlement]] in [[Ivanovo Oblast]], [[Russia]]. Population: {{ru-census|p2002=5814|p1989=6202}}
Palekh emerged as a leading centre of the Russian icon- and mural-painting in the 19th century. A good example of the Palekh school are the murals and icons from the local Church of the Exaltation of the Cross (built in 1762–1774). Today, Palekh is known primarily for [[Palekh miniature|its miniature]]s.
