right|thumb|Approximate territory of the Jaega chiefdom in the late 17th Century

The Jaega (also Jega, Xega, Geiga) were Native Americans living in a chiefdom of the same name, which included the coastal parts of present-day Martin County and northern Palm Beach County, Florida, at the time of initial European contact, and until the 18th century. The name Jobé, or Jové , has been identified as a synonym of Jaega, a sub-group of the Jaega, or a town of the Jaega.
