Strez (Bulgarian: Стрез; original spelling: СТРѢЗЪ) (fl. 1207–1214) was a Bulgarian sebastokrator and a member of the Asen dynasty. A major contender for the Bulgarian throne Strez initially opposed the ascension of his close relative Tsar Boril. He fled to Serbia where he accepted the vassalage of Grand Prince Stefan Nemanjić and Serbian support helped him establish himself as a largely independent ruler in a large part of the region of Macedonia.
