The Teda language, also known as Tedaga, is a Nilo-Saharan language spoken by the Teda people in southern Libya, northern Chad and eastern Niger.

Along with the more populous southern dialect of Daza, the northern Teda dialect constitutes one of the two varieties of Tebu. However, Teda is also sometimes used for Tebu in general.
