Algemesí (Valencian pronunciation: [aʎdʒemeˈzi]) is a municipality in the comarca of Ribera Alta in the Valencian Community, Spain.
The town of Algemesí is one of the major centres for the production of citruses in Spain, and several cooperatives are based there. This is due to the soft climate and good irrigation coming from the Xuquer river, which passes through the city.
The traditional Valencian dance called Muixeranga is originally from here.
