Kercseliget (German: Gertsleck or Gerstlek; Croatian: Karčalinj) is a village in Somogy County, southern Hungary.

According to the first one the German residents started to call their village Gartenchen and Parkchen which were translated into Hungarian as kertecske (English: tiny garden) and ligetecske (English: tiny park).

It lies at the meeting point of the three counties: Tolna, Baranya and Somogy.

In the 18th century Kristóf Nitzky bought the land and invited the Roman Catholic German settlers to Kercseliget.

Early Kercseliget had a developed industry with a brick factory and weekly market.
