Tocobaga (also Tocopaca) is the name of a chiefdom, its chief and its principal town during the sixteenth century in the area of Tampa Bay.
The people of Tocobaga are in the Safety Harbor culture area.
The town is at the northern end of what is now called Old Tampa Bay, an arm of Tampa Bay that extends northward between the present-day city of Tampa and Pinellas County.
The town is believed to have been at the Safety Harbor Site.
The name Tocobaga is also often applied to all of the people who live around Tampa Bay during the first Spanish colonial period (1513-1763), but Spanish accounts name other chiefdoms around Tampa Bay.
