We construct multisphaleron solutions in the Weinberg-Salam theory. The multisphaleron solutions carry Chern-Simons charge [ital n]/2, where [ital n] is an integer, counting the winding of the fields in the azimuthal angle. The well-known sphaleron has [ital n]=1. The multisphalerons possess axial symmetry and parity reflection symmetry. We vary the Higgs boson mass and the mixing angle. For small [ital n] the energies of the multisphalerons are on the order of [ital n] times the energy of the sphaleron and their magnetic dipole moments are on the order of [ital n] times the magnetic dipole moment of the sphaleron.
