Batetsky (Russian: Батецкий) is a rural locality (a settlement of rural type) and the administrative center of Batetsky District, Novgorod Oblast, Russia, located in the northwest of the oblast, on the banks of the Udrayka River (a right tributary of the Luga).

On July 5, 1944, Batetsky District was transferred to newly established Novgorod Oblast.

There is a road network inside the district, connecting Batetsky, in particular, with Veliky Novgorod, Luga, Shimsk, and Soltsy.
