Swetes (; ) is a village located in Saint Paul Parish on the island of Antigua, in Antigua and Barbuda.
==Geography== With lowlands and valleys, the terrain of the Swete's region is nearly identical to that of Liberta, with the exception that there are less sharp hills. Since it is the area's flattest lowland, as opposed to Buckley's to the north and Folly Hill and John Hughes to the west, the majority of slaves who were freed after slavery lived in Swete. The owner followed the custom of selling unused estate properties to freed slaves.
