Kõiguste is a village in Saaremaa Parish, Saare County in western Estonia.
==Name== Kõiguste was attested in historical records referring to persons from the village (Meles van Keikus is tho Tackever in 1453 , Keikuste Willem in 1617–1618, and Keykeste Willem in 1622), as well as Keikuß in 1645 (referring to the village) and Köigust in 1798 (referring to the manor). The place name may have originated from a personal name, such as Keyke or Keike. Jaak Simm cites Võnnu Parish Keegu, which appears in written form as Keigo-, Keygo-, comparing it with Finnish keikka ~ keikko ~ keikku (keikas) 'bent upward and backward; rocking, fluttering'.
