Gurk er med en længde på 157 km den næstlængste flod i den østerrigske delstat Kärnten efter Drau, hvis areal den afvander med 27 %. I det 2581,63 km² store opland lever 40 % af befolkningen i Kärnten. Oprindelsen af navnet Gurk stammer fra før romertiden. Den indoeuropæiske ordstamme til ordet er „krk“, hvilket betyder, at navnets betydning kan tolkes som „den gurglende“. I romertiden skulle floden Gurk have heddet „Corcoras“. Der findes også andre floder i Europa med lignende navneursprung som f.eks. Krka i Slovenien eller Krka i Kroatien.
