The **Federgo**, also **Federitga**, was a historic region, situated on the northwestern edge of [East Frisia](/source/East_Frisia), by the [Wadden Sea](/source/Wadden_Sea), which roughly covered the present-day parish of [Krummhörn](/source/Krummh%C3%B6rn).[1] Before the breach of the [Leybucht](/source/Leybucht) bay the parish of [Norden](/source/Norden_(Ostfriesland)) also belonged to Federgo.[2] The [gau](/source/Gau_(country_subdivision)) probably derives its name from the conspicuous marsh plants growing there.[2]

The Federgo is bordered in the east by the [Brokmerland](/source/Brokmerland) and in the south by the [Emsigerland](/source/Emsigerland).
