The Aedui or Haedui （Gaulish: *Aiduoi, 'the Ardent'; Ancient Greek: Aἴδουοι） were a Gallic tribe dwelling in the modern Burgundy region during the Iron Age and the Roman period.
The Aedui had an ambiguous relationship with the Roman Republic and with other Gallic tribes.
In 121 BC, they appealed to Rome against the Arverni and Allobroges.
During the Gallic Wars （58–50 BC）, they gave valuable though not whole-hearted support to Caesar, before eventually giving lukewarm support to Vercingetorix in 52.
Although they were involved in the revolts of Iulius Sacrovir in 21 AD and Vindex in 68 AD, their aristocracy became highly Romanized under the Empire.

Latin aedes 'building, temple'; also Ancient Greek Aether 'god of the upper sky' and Aethra 'bright sky', from aíthō 'to ignite, to kindle'）.
The territory of the Aedui was situated in a strategic economic position between the Saône and Loire rivers, and included most of the modern départements of Saône-et-Loire and Nièvre, the southwestern-part of Côte-d'Or between Beaune and Saulieu,
and the southern part of Yonne around Avallon, corresponding to the Saône plains, the Morvan granitic massif, and the low Nivernais plateau, from east to west.
