The Soeste is a river in the Cloppenburg district in Lower Saxony.
The Soeste forms from two source brooks in Hesselnfeld and Egterholz, two small settlements in the Emstek municipality. It flows northwest through Cloppenburg, where its water flow was already sufficient for water mills to be operated. The Soeste flows into a dam at Thülsfelde, which was built in the 1920s. From there it flows through the towns Friesoythe and Barßel. West of the latter town, the Soeste flows into the Jümme, which drains into the Ems.
