Sils im Engadin/Segl (German: Sils im Engadin; Romansh 
Segl ), often also as Sils i.E./Segl, is a municipality and a village in the district of Maloja, Upper Engadine in the Swiss canton of the Grisons.
The municipality consists of two villages Segl Maria (Romansh, German: Sils Maria; Seglias is part of Segl Maria) and Segl Baselgia (German: Sils Baselgia; Baselgia is Romansh for church), the Val Fex (German: Fextal), and the three Maiensässe (Alpine pastures traditionally used for spring grazing) Grevasalvas, Blaunca and Buaira above Plaun da Lej on the left side of the valley.
The municipality's official label uses both, the German and the Romansh version of the municipality's name. Segl is the Romansh version while Sils im Engadin is the German. Engadin is Romansh for "Valley of the Inn (Romansh: En)", the river, which flows northeast from Maloja through Sils Baselgia and eventually into the Danube at Passau, Germany at the German-Austrian border.
