Lesseyton is a town in Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, located 14 km (8.7 mi) northwest of Queenstown.

Lesseyton was established as a mission station of the Wesleyan Missionary Society in 1847.

The people were all Thembu, who mostly retained their customary cultural and religious beliefs.

In 1851, a war broke out between the Xhosas and the Cape colonial authorities, and many Thembus joined the hostilities against the colonial government.
