Kursich (fl. 395) was a Hun general and royal family member. He led a Hunnish army in the Hunnic invasion of Persia in 395 AD. The Huns started to seriously threaten the Eastern Roman Empire in 395, crossing over the Caucasus mountains in the summer of that year. The following winter, another Hunnic force pillaged Thrace and threatened Dalmatia. The Huns then invaded Armenia, Persia and the Asian Roman provinces. Kursich and another commander, Basich, led two armies down the Euphrates, up to threatening the Sassanid Persian capital of Ctesiphon. One army was defeated by the Persians, while the other successfully retreated by Derbent Pass.

One army was defeated by the Persians, while the other successfully retreated by Derbent Pass. Priscus recorded that Kursich later came to Rome to make an alliance. Maenchen-Helfen suggested that he and Basich came to Rome in 404 or 407, as mercenaries. His name is of Turkic origin. (en)
