Cresta is a suburb of Randburg, South Africa, situated near the border of Johannesburg.

Although it is mostly a residential area, in the middle is Cresta Shopping Centre, for which the suburb of Cresta is most well-known. The suburb is fairly small, and due to its age, parts of it are fairly run-down. Added to this, it is located very near Windsor West, an even more run-down suburb.

However, Cresta is located in a logistically good area, considering that the N1 highway passes nearby, as well as Beyers Naude Drive, both main roads to and from the CBD and the Greater Johannesburg area.
