Kokry is a village and rural commune in the Cercle of Macina in the Ségou Region of southern-central Mali.

In the 2009 census the commune had a population of 13,393.[2] The main village, (chef-lieu), is called Kokry Centre to distinguish it from Kokry Bozo which lies 3 km to the east on a strip of land between the Niger River and the Distributeur Kokry, an irrigation canal.
