The **Tyrageti**, **Tyragetae**, or **Tyrangitae** (Greek: Τυραγγεῖται, Tυραγγέται, or Τυρεγέται, [Strabo](/source/Strabo) vii.; [Ptol.](/source/Ptolemy) iii. 5. § 25), literally, the [Getae](/source/Getae) of the [Tyras](/source/Tyras_River), were a sub-tribe of the Getae, situated on the river *Tyras* (modern-day [Dniester](/source/Dniester) in [Moldova](/source/Moldova) and [Ukraine](/source/Ukraine)). They were regarded as an immigrant tribe of European [Sarmatia](/source/Sarmatia) dwelling east of the river Tyras, near the [Carpii](/source/Carpi_people) and [Tagri](/source/Tagri), and, according to Ptolemy, the northern neighbours of [Lower Moesia](/source/Lower_Moesia). [Pliny](/source/Pliny_the_Elder) (v. 12. s. 26) calls them, with more correct orthography, Tyragetae, and represents them as dwelling on a large island in the Tyras.
