Tingstäde is a locality on the Swedish island of Gotland. Formerly a socken, on 1 January 2016, it was reconstituted into the administrative area Tingstäde District. It is most noted for its nearby lake Lake Tingstäde, which contains the sunken Bulverket fortification, built, used and abandoned during the 12th century.
