'''Mesite''' (kutoka [[Kifaransa]]: [[:fr:Mésite|mésite]]) ni [[ndege (mnyama)|ndege]] wa [[familia (biolojia)|familia]] [[Mesitornithidae]]. Undugu wa ndege hawa si wa uhakika. Kwa kawaida huainishwa katika [[Gruiformes]], lakini utafiti wa hivi karibuni umeonyesha kama wana mnasaba zaidi na [[Columbiformes]]. Kwa sasa waainishwa katika [[oda]] yao yenyewe [[Mesitornithiformes]]. Mesite wanafanana na [[kiluwiri|viluwiri]] wenye miguu na mkia miferu. Rangi yao ni kahawia au kjivu mgongoni na nyeupe au kahawia isioiva chini. Wanatokea [[Madagaska]] na hula [[mdudu|wadudu]], [[mjusi|mijusi]] na [[chura|vyura]] wadogo, [[mbegu]] na [[beri]]. Hulijenga tago lao kwa vijiti katika kichaka na jike huyataga [[yai|mayai]] 2-3.
