The Tzenketh system was an inhabited planetary system in the Alpha Quadrant. A planet in this system, Tzenketh, was the homeworld of the Tzenkethi.

In 2259, the location of this system was labeled on a stellar cartography chart that was seen on the USS Enterprise's ready room viewscreen. The system was denoted by a purple symbol – the only system onscreen to be marked with this color. (SNW: "Strange New Worlds", "A Quality of Mercy")

The system's location was labeled in a Federation star chart that was in Fleet Admiral Kirsten Clancy's office at Starfleet Headquarters in 2399 and on the bridge of the USS Titan-A in 2401. The Tzenketh system was in or near to Federation space. (PIC: "Maps and Legends", "The Next Generation", "Disengage")

In 2401, this system's position was labeled on a star chart used by Captain William T. Riker during his attempt at finding the last known location of the SS Eleos XII. (PIC: "The Next Generation")

The name of this system came from the source material used, the Star Trek: Star Charts and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library, to create the star chart seen in Star Trek: Picard.
According to Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 36) and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Stellar Cartography", p. 11), the primary of the Tzenketh system was a M-class star. This was the capital system of the Tzenkethi Coalition (β).
