Tegremante (15?? – 1627) was the ouboutou or chief of his clan on St Kitts by the time Thomas Warner arrived by 1624. His village is suspected to be just above on Highland Old Road, where the settlers lived. It was located close to the sea and either on the banks of the Wingfield or East Rivers. They depended mostly on agriculture for food. When the Kalinago Genocide of 1626 occurred, no Caribs were there, except some servant-girls.

He was murdered “in his hammacco”, probably in 1627[citation needed].
