Kemzeke (Dutch pronunciation: [kɛmˈzeːkə]) is a village in the Belgian municipality of Stekene in the province of East-Flanders.

Around 1630, the Sint-Jan fortress was built near Kemzeke as part of the defensive lineage between the Dutch Republic and the Spanish Netherlands.

The fortress was never conquered, but was left to deteriorate, and was later dissected by a road during the Austrian period.
