Tsegihi is a bright region in Titan's southern mid-latitudes. It is centered at 15°W, 40°S.

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.Fact|date=February 2007

Tsegihi is also the first line in the Navajo Nightsong "Tsegihi, The House Made of Dawn" [http://www.cs.unc.edu/~thall/healing.html]

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