Feia Lacus is one of a number of hydrocarbon seas and lakes found on Saturn's largest moon, Titan.[1] It was named in 2007[2] on the basis of data taken by the space probe Cassini.[3]

The lake is located at latitude 73.7°N and longitude 64.41° W on Titan's globe,[4] and is composed of liquid methane and ethane.[5] At 47 km in length it is moderately sized.[4] It is named after Lagoa FeiainBrazil.[6]
