Este is one of the 105 woredas in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Debub Gondar Zone, Este is bordered on the south by the Abay River which separates it from the Misraq Gojjam Zone, on the west by Dera, on the northwest by Fogera, on the north by Farta, on the northeast by Lay Gayint, and on the east by Simada. Towns in Este include Jara Gedo and Mekane Yesus.

The House of Este is a European princely dynasty. It is split into two branches: the elder branch is known as the House of Welf-Este or House of Welf, and the younger branch as the House of Fulc-Este or later simply as the House of Este.
