Mighindoala is a small village in the Sibiu county in Transilvania, Romania. It is part of Seica Mare administrative region.

This place is located at 46.0000 North latitude and 24.2833 East longitude. The altitude is 557 meters above the sea level.

As it was inhabited by people of three nationalities (Germans, Romanians, Hungarians) it also has a German name, "Engenthal", and a Hungarian name, "Ingodály".

There are only four people left in this village (as of 2004). The Orthodox church has no roof any more, and trees are growing inside it. The Protestant church is still standing. The village once had in excess of 50 houses circa 1975, but grew gradually deserted after the communist regime took out the infrastructure (teachers & doctors). Now there are only about ten buildings standing.

The only economic activity there is agriculture, very much based on traditional farming (sheep, cows & horses).
