The name Megi (Korean: 메기) has been used for four tropical cyclones in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The name was submitted by South Korea and is a Korean word for catfish.
- Typhoon Megi (2004) (T0415, 18W, Lawin) – moved through the Ryūkyū islands before passing between South Korea and Japan
- Typhoon Megi (2010) (T1013, 15W, Juan) – an extremely strong Category 5 typhoon that struck Luzon and China

- Tropical Storm Megi (2022) (T2202, 03W, Agaton) – a deadly tropical cyclone that stalled in Leyte Gulf, bringing widespread flooding to the Philippines
