Karamesutlu is a village in the district of Babaeski in the province of Kırklareli in northwestern Turkey. It lies on the highway that connects Babaeski to Kırklareli and further extends to Dereköy, the customs with Bulgaria. It is 7 km to Babaeski and 30 km to Kırklareli. It is also only 2 km to the ramp for the Transit European Motorway (TEM) which goes all the way from Ankara, central Turkey to Europe.

It lies on a flat landscape where the highest elevation does not exceed 100 m. Agriculture is the way of life. Sunflower and wheat are the main crops. Cattle is also raised. The Şeytan (Devil in Turkish) Stream flows through the land of the village and provides an important source for irrigation.

The name of the village is believed to have originated from a shoemaker whose name was Mesut and who had a tan complexion.
