Tsaryovo-Zaimishche is a village in Russia, situated on the old road from Smolensk to Moscow, west of Vyazma. Its name is translated from Russian as "the tsar's water-meadow".

In the 17th century, the village was a place where travellers to Moscow were examined by Russian custom officials and police. A local wooden fort was taken by the Polish army during the Time of Troubles. In 1812 it was the place where commander-in-chief Mikhail Kutuzov joined the Russian army operating against Napoleon.
