Zemgale (also historically known as Semigallia or Semigalia) forms an historical region of Latvia, sometimes also including a part of Lithuania. The region takes its name from the Baltic people known as Semigallians.
Within Latvia, Zemgale has the status of one of the five cutural regions. It lies in the middle of the southern part of the Republic of Latvia, and consists of Bauska, Dobele, and Jelgava counties (rajons).
Sēlija (Selonia) often counts as part of Zemgale. Selonia comprises the eastern part of the 1939 province of Semigallia, an area completely located south of the Daugava River. Traditional Selonia also includes a portion of north-east Lithuania. It takes its name from the Baltic tribe of the Selonians.
