Eke is a settlement on the Swedish island of Gotland. Formerly a socken, on 1 January 2016, it was reconstituted into the administrative area Eke District.
The Guding hillfort in Eke was built during the Iron Age. The wall that encircles it is approximately 450 m (1,480 ft) long and the courtyard about 12,000 m2 (130,000 sq ft).
Eke is situated in the southeast part of Gotland. The medieval Eke Church is located in the socken.
