Starobesheve, Administrative urban settlement in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine.

Starobesheve stands on the right bank of Kalmius River, 20 kilometers northwest from the Russian border at 135 meters elevation.

Greek settlers from Crimea established the settlement as Beshevo in 1779, which received its current name in 1896 to distinguish it as Old Besheve.

The 2001 census revealed a population mix of 52.1 percent Ukrainians, 31.7 percent Russians, and 13.4 percent Greeks in the Starobesheve district.

The settlement maintains road connections to multiple regional centers including Donetsk, Novoazovsk, Mariupol, Dokuchaievsk, and Amvrosiivka.

A memorial museum preserves the legacy of Pasha Angelina, a female tractor operator who achieved recognition for her work in the local collective farm.
