Vesanka is a village and a district of the city of Jyväskylä, in Central Finland. Before 2009, it was one of the villages of Jyväskylän maalaiskunta. It is located in the far western part of Jyväskylä near its borders with Petäjävesi, Muurame and, until 2009, Korpilahti.[2]

Residential concentrations within the official district include Kettulanmäki, Kylmäoja, Möykynmäki and Perälä. Vesanka forms the Kuohu-Vesanka ward together with Kuohu, Ruoke and Varsalanperä.[2] Vesanka was classified as a separate urban area (taajama) until 2019.[3][4]
