Karamesutlu is a village in the district of Babaeski in the Kırklareli Province in Thracian Turkey. It lies on the highway that connects Babaeski to Kırklareli and further extends to Dereköy, the customs with Bulgaria. It is 7 km from Babaeski and 30 km from Kırklareli. It is also 2 km from the ramp of the Trans-European Motorway, which goes from Ankara (in central Turkey) to Europe.
It lies on a flat landscape where the highest elevation does not exceed 100 m. Agricultural farming is the primary source of income. 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 named Mesut who had a tan ("kara" in Turkish) complexion.
