Tsegihi is a bright region in Titan's southern mid-latitudes. It is centered at 40°S 10°W / 40°S 10°W / -40; -10[1].

It is thought to be brighter than the surrounding area because dark organic haze particles which settle elsewhere on Titan are washed from Tsegihi by methane storms.[citation needed]

Tsegihi is also the first line in the Navajo Nightsong Tsegihi, The House Made of Dawn[2]

In Tsegihi, oh you who dwell
In the house made of the dawn
