{{More citations needed|date=June 2015}}This is a list of named geological features on Saturn's moon Titan. Official names for these features have only been announced very recently, as Titan's surface was virtually unknown before the arrival of the Cassini–Huygens probe.[1] Some features were known by informal nicknames beforehand; these names are noted where appropriate. Albedo featuresAlbedo features on Titan are named after sacred or enchanted places in world mythologies and literature. Bright albedo features Albedo feature | Coordinates | Named after |

Informal names for unnamed featuresBecause the exact nature of many surface features remain mysterious, a number of features have not yet received formal names and are known by nicknames. In most cases, indications of brightness and darkness refer not to visible light, but to the infrared images used to look through Titan's obscuring haze. Cassini has also begun to map portions of Titan using radar. - 'The Sickle': a large, dark, sickle-shaped region identified by the Hubble Space Telescope.
- 'Dog and Ball', 'Dragon's Head': large, dark, roughly equatorial regions identified by the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope, named for their distinctive shapes.
- 'Si-Si the Cat': a region that appears dark in radar images, named after a researcher's daughter who said it looked like a cat.
