Starobesheve (Ukrainian: Старобешеве; Russian: Старобешево, romanized: Starobeshevo) is a rural settlement in Donetsk Oblast, eastern Ukraine.

The town is located on the right bank of the river Kalmius,[1] about 20 kilometres (12 mi) northwest of the internationally recognized border with Russia.

Between April and November the selo was occupied by German troops, and subsequently between December 1918 and May 1919 by the White Army.
