Streževo () is an abandoned village in the Bitola Municipality of North Macedonia. It used to be part of the former municipality of Capari.

The Villages history dates back further than kept records, however, some of the oldest citizens claim the village has been around for well over 500 years. The village is situated at the foot of Baba Mountain and on the border of the Bitola and Demir Hisar Municipalities. Due to the construction of the Streževo dam, the village has become abandoned. Besides the rare visit back to the abandoned homes for wood collection for winter and other activities, it's mostly empty. The houses have mostly become overgrown with shrubs and bushes and the main town hall is falling apart due to neglect. Streževo's former residents and their descendants still gather in the village for "Ivan Den" which is celebrated at Streževo's monastery. This celebration takes place on 7 July. thumb|280px|Ivan Day Celebrations in Streževo
