Tenganan Pegringsingan (Balinese script: ᬢᭂᬗᬦᬦ᭄ᬧᭂᬕ᭄ᬭᬶᬗ᭄ᬲᬶᬗᬦ᭄) or Pageringsingan is a village in the regency of Karangasem in East Bali, Indonesia. It is known for the gringsing or geringsing, double ikat textiles woven in only 3 places in the world; and for its gamelan selunding or Gambelan selonding music played on iron metallophones.
Before the 1970s it was known by anthropologists as a secluded society in the archipelago. Rapid changes have occurred in the village since the 1970s, such as the development of local communications by the central government, the opening up to tourism, and the breaking of the endogamic rules.
