}}Sweet is an unincorporated community in Gem County, Idaho, United States. It is located in open countryside {{convert|10|mi|km|abbr=on}} northeast of Emmett, along a county highway 8 miles due north of its intersection with State Highway 52.[2]

Founded in 1885 by Ezekiel Sweet, the community initially was a supply location and post office for farmers and ranchers in the nearby Lower Squaw Creek Valley. Sweet grew significantly as a result of the later Thunder Mountain Mines gold strike; by 1900, it supported three saloons, three hotels, several businesses, and a newspaper, which lasted until the gold mines petered out. Several subsequent fires destroyed most of the historic downtown. Today, a smaller Sweet is the location of a restaurant and post office.[3]

The Upper Brownlee School in Sweet, and the Sweet Methodist Episcopal Church, are both listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Shadow Butte, located northwest of Sweet, and is a notable landmark in the area.
