Sesvete (Croatian pronunciation: [sêsʋete]) is the easternmost city district of Zagreb, Croatia.

Sesvete combines an urban centre with suburban neighbourhoods and rural settlements in its northern area. The district extends from lowlands in the south to the southern foothills of Medvednica in the north.

Industrialisation and inward migration accelerated urbanisation from the mid-1960s, joining formerly separate settlements along the Zagreb–Dugo Selo road into a continuous built-up area.

The urban centre of Sesvete serves as an important economic and transport hub for the eastern part of Zagreb.
