Bocskaikert is a village situated in the north-east part of Hungary, 15 km (9 mi) away from Debrecen, the country's second largest town.

It was a long time until the settlement could recover, though important commercial routes were crossing there, which hastened its development.

It was named 21 February 1899 after István Bocskai, leader of the successful Hungarian uprising against the Habsburgs in the early 17th century.

After World War II, the village was attached to the neighbouring town Hajdúhadház.

It has a twin town called Botkyrka which is a part of Stockholm, Sweden.
