We propose a new sequential jet reconstruction algorithm for future lepton colliders at the energy frontier. The Valencia combines natural distance criterion with greater robustness against backgrounds of algorithms adapted to hadron colliders. Results on detailed Monte Carlo simulation $t\bar{t}$ and $ZZ$ production linear $e^+e^-$ (ILC CLIC) realistic level background overlaid, show that it achieves better performance in presence background.
