Terahi (Terāhī, तेरही) is an important historic site and a village in Shivpuri district of north Madhya Pradesh. It was called Terambhi, likely after the Hindu scholar Terambhipala who lived here. He built temples and an important Shaiva monastery for the Mattamayura school of Kadambaguha tradition. Terahi is mentioned in inscriptions and is about 15 kilometers from Category:Kadwaya, Madhya Pradesh – another Mattamayura site.

Terahi preserves the ruins of one Hindu monastery and two temples, all from 9th and 10th-century. Like Kadwaha, the monastery and temples of Terahi suffered significant damage after Delhi Sultanate invaded central India.

Terahi is one of the group of sites with major Hindu monasteries and temples from the 7th to 11th-centuries in north Madhya Pradesh. Other major historic monastery-college sites near Terahi include Mahuā, Indor, Sakarra, Ranod, Surwāyā, Baktar, Kadwaha, Budhi Chanderi, and Thubon. These sites also had presence of a few Jain temples and possibly a shared education site.
