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) – a strong Category 5 typhoon that struck Luzon
