Svēte Manor (Latvian: Svētes muižas pils) is a manor house in the Svēte Parish of Jelgava Municipality, in the historical region of Semigallia, in Latvia.

The manor was originally built around 1730,^[1] and extensively remodeled with new columns between 1774 and 1775 by architect Severin Jensen for use as a summer vacation residence by Duke Peter von Biron.^[2] The building was part of an army base between 1870 and 1993.^[2] It was further remodeled between 1876 and 1878 for military use.^{[2] [3]} From 1993 until 2018 the building had several owners but its condition slowly worsened. In 2018 the manor building became the property of a local family who started restoration works.
