Karaağaç (Greek: Ορεστιάδα, formerly anglicized as Orestiada) is a settlement in the İpsala District of Edirne Province in northwestern Turkey. It was a part of the defensive line Lüleburgaz - Karaağaç - Bunarhisar in the First Balkan War.
At the border to Greece opposite Kastanies, Karaağaç is located on the river Maritsa and serves as the last train stop in Turkey to Europe. The state road D.100 connects Karaağaç to Kastanies. In 1890, a large train station was built in Karaağaç on the left bank the river. The Turkish State Railways (TCDD) constructed in 1971 a new train station at the opposite side abandoning the former one, which is now used as the administrative building of Trakya University.
