Jezera is a settlement in Croatia located on the island of Murter. Situated in the northern Dalmatia region along the central Adriatic coast, it forms part of Tisno municipality.

It is the second-largest settlement in the municipality and a tourist destination in summer. It is known for its coastline and local culture.[citation needed] The town attracts visitors interested in both leisure and cultural activities, and experiences a significant population surge during the summer months.[citation needed]

The name Jezera translates to 'lakes' in English, reflecting the area's natural landscape and proximity to bodies of water.[citation needed]

Jezera has a natural harbour protected from frequent Adriatic winds such as jugo or bora.[citation needed]
