Visäte (Old Norse: Víseti, Véseti) was a runemaster who was active during the last half of the 11th century in southern Uppland, Sweden.

Only seven runestones were signed by him, but an additional 20 runestones have been attributed to him.

Uppland's largest runic inscription, the Granby Runestone (U 337) has Visäte's signature.
