John Kourkouas (Greek: Ἰωάννης Κουρκούας, Ioannes Kourkouas, fl. c.–946), also transliterated as Kurkuas or Curcuas, was one of the most important generals of the Byzantine Empire. His success in battles against the Muslim states in the East definitively reversed the course of the centuries-long Byzantine–Arab Wars and began Byzantium's 10th century "Age of Conquest".
