The '''Sanudo''' (sometimes spelled '''Sanuto''') were a [Venetian noble family](/source/Venetian_nobility). The earliest known member was Marco Sanudo (1043–1096), but the family is sometimes said to descend from the older [Candiano](/source/Candiano). The family went extinct in the 19th century.<ref name=Eol>[https://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/sanudo Sanudo], ''Enciclopedia on line'' (Treccani), retrieved 14 August 2023.</ref> A branch ruled the [Duchy of the Archipelago](/source/Duchy_of_the_Archipelago) from 1204 until 1566.<ref name=MB>Mario Brunetti, [https://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/sanudo-duchi-di-nasso_(Enciclopedia-Italiana)/ Sanudo, duchi di Nasso], ''Enciclopedia Italiana'' (1936), retrieved 14 August 2023.</ref> Other branches include:

*Sanudo di San Matteo di Rialto<ref name=Eol/>
*Sanudo di San Silvestro<ref name=Eol/>
*Sanudo di San Giacomo dell'Orio, whose most famous members were [Francesco Sanudo](/source/Francesco_Sanudo) and [Marino Sanudo the Younger](/source/Marino_Sanudo_the_Younger)<ref name=Eol/>

*Sanudo di San Severo, whose most famous members were [Marino Sanudo Torsello](/source/Marino_Sanudo_Torsello) and {{ill|Livio Sanuto|de||fr}}<ref name=Eol/>

Family legend had it that the Sanudo were among the families who elected the first doge, [Paolo Lucio Anafesto](/source/Paolo_Lucio_Anafesto), in 697. Their founder was supposedly a certain Tommaso Candiano Sanudo, a [Roman senator](/source/Roman_senator) from [Padua](/source/Padua) who, fleeing the raids of [Attila the Hun](/source/Attila_the_Hun), found refuge in the lagoon in 421. The family then settled in [Eraclea](/source/Eraclea), later moving to [Malamocco](/source/Malamocco) and governing the populations present there as tribunes.<ref name=Eol/><ref name=MB/>
