Prždevo (Macedonian: Прждево) is an ethnic Macedonian village with over 200 residents, located in North Macedonia. It had nearly 500 residents just 15 years ago, but many moved to larger areas. Even so, the village boasts a pepper factory and a winery, scheduled to open in 2008. It has a very old church, and is the crossroads for several other villages to the east and south. Many villagers are farmers and produce their own livestock for dairy products as well.
