'''Kokry''', also spelled '''Kokri''', is a village and [[Communes of Mali|rural commune]] in the [[Macina Cercle|Cercle of Macina]] in the [[Ségou Region]] of southern-central [[Mali]]. The commune covers an area of approximately 160 square kilometers and includes 17 villages.<ref>{{citation |title=Communes de la Région de Ségou |publisher=Ministère de l’administration territoriale et des collectivités locales, République du Mali |url=http://www.matcl.gov.ml/pdf/ComRegSegou.pdf |language=French |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120309074207/http://www.matcl.gov.ml/pdf/ComRegSegou.pdf |archivedate=2012-03-09 }}.</ref> The farmland is irrigated by the [[Office du Niger]] irrigation scheme. The main crop is rice.
