Οι Ελευθερές ήταν αρχαία πόλη στα όρια της Αττικής με τη Βοιωτία. Για την ακριβή τοποθεσία της πόλης υπήρξε διαφωνία μεταξύ ιστορικών. Σύμφωνα με την πιο επικρατούσα άποψη η πόλη βρισκόταν στις ανατολικές πλαγιές του Κιθαιρώνα, κατά μήκος της στενής διάβασης της Κάζας, στη θέση που διασωζονται ερείπια σημαντικού φρουρίου. Η άποψη αυτή ενισχύεται από την περιγραφή του Παυσανία. Ορισμένοι τοποθετούν την πόλη ανατολικότερα στην περιοχή της Μυούπολης (κοντά στη Μονή του Οσίου Μελετίου), θέση στην οποία άλλοι τοποθετούν την αρχαία Οινόη.

Το νερό της είναι υφάλμυρο καθώς εισχωρεί σε αυτή θαλασσινό νερό.
