Vesele (Ukrainian: Веселе; Russian: Весёлое) is a village in the Sudak Municipality of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, a territory recognized by a majority of countries as part of Ukraine and annexed by Russia as the Republic of Crimea.[3]

Previously, the settlement was known as the Kutlak village (Crimean Tatar: Qutlaq). Following the forced deporation of the Crimean Tatars in 1944, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR published a decree on May 18, 1948 renaming the settlement along with many others throughout Crimea from their native Crimean Tatar names to their current variants.[4]

Vesele is located on Crimea's southern shore at an elevation of 126 metres (413 ft).[2] Its population was 1,596 in the 2001 Ukrainian census.[3]
