Tegueste was one of nine menceyatos guanches (native kingdoms) in which the island of Tenerife (Canary Islands) was divided before the arrival of the conquering Spaniards.
It occupied the whole extent of the current municipality of Tegueste along with other sites that today are part of the municipality of San Cristóbal de La Laguna.
The menceyato's lords were Tegueste I, Tegueste II and Teguaco.
