Sahita(plural) (Sindhi:سهتا), Sahito(singular) (Sindhi:سهتو) is the name of a caste/tribe in Sindh, South Asia. Sahita speak the Sindhi language. Mr Lok Ram Dodeja wrote in his Sindhi book "Muhinjo Watan Muhinja Manhoon" (Sindhi:منهنجو وطن منهنجا ماڻهو) that the Sahita tribe is related to Sahita Singh (Sindhi:سهتا سنگه) the son of Moda Singh (Sindhi:موڙا سنگه) Rajput. The old name of Nawab Shah was Sahati.

The majority of Sahita live in central Sindh, especially in the districts of Khairpur, Naushahro Feroze, Nawabshah, Hala and Hyderabad.
