Sudovians are an extinct subgroup of Baltic people, that used to live at the left bank of the River Nemunas, in the region known as Sudovia, territory today belonging to Lithuania and Poland.

Another extinct Baltic group, the Yotvingians is sometimes referred to as Sudovians as well.

Large parts of Prussian Sudovian territory were conquered under the Polish - Lithuanian Jagiellonian kingdom, and Sudovians were either exterminated, assimilated or took refuge as Protestants in the Duchy of Prussia.
