Tece (Turkish pronunciation: [ˈtɛdʒɛ]) is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Mezitli, Mersin Province, Turkey.[1] Its population is 1,407 (2022).[2]

Tece is named after Tece Creek which is to the east of the neighbourhood.[3] It is located on Turkish state highway D.400, 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) from the center of Mersin.

Tece used to be a small village located in the citrus plantation, but due to its proximity to Mersin and housing projects in the 1990s, its population increased sharply and a municipality was established in Tece. However, in 2008, the municipality was disestablished and Tece was made a neighbourhood of Mezitli.[4]

Tece is known for its ancient castle and its creek. The Mersin municipality now runs a project of coastal area. The project will include walking trails, bicycle roads, playgrounds, fitness centres, sport courts and coffeehouses between Mersin and Tece.[5]
