Perse (Pērse) is a river and a waterfall in Koknese manor park, Aizkraukles county, Latvia. Part of Perse river, including the waterfall section, was flooded in 1967 by hydroelectric dam of Plavinas power plant (Pļaviņu HPP). A granite sculpture by Juris Zihmanis now marks the location of the waterfall. Manor buildings were destroyed during World War I.
