Karád ({{langx|hr|Karadin}}) is a village in Somogy county, Hungary.

The settlement is part of the Balatonboglár wine region.[https://web.archive.org/web/20160410182214/http://www.delbalatonibor.hu/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/HK-Tan%C3%A1cs-Alapszab%C3%A1ly.pdf A Balatonboglári borvidék hegyközségi tanácsának alapszabálya (PDF)]

Etymology

Its name derives from the Turkish person name, Kara ({{langx|hu|fekete}}, {{langx|en|black}}). He could be the first owner of the settlement. The same applies to Kára.{{Cite web |url=http://somogy.hu/publikaciok/kiraly-lajos-somogyi-helysegnevek-nepi-es.html |title=Lajos Király : Somogyi helységnevek népi és ... |access-date=2018-05-27 |archive-date=2018-05-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180528052439/http://somogy.hu/publikaciok/kiraly-lajos-somogyi-helysegnevek-nepi-es.html |url-status=dead }}

According to László Szita the settlement was completely Hungarian in the 18th century.[https://library.hungaricana.hu/hu/view/SOMM_SomAlm_052/?pg=10&layout=s&query=korpád László Szita : Somogy megyei nemzetiségek településtörténete a XVIII-XIX. században - Somogyi Almanach 52. (Kaposvár, 1993)]

The Hungarian folk songs Fót hátán fót, egy üngöm vót (in 1938) and A karádi faluvégen (in 1933) were collected in Karád by Gyula Dávid as well as Rén a bárány (in 1953) by László Vikár.
