The Sunningas were a tribe or clan of early Anglo-Saxon England, whose territory formed a regio or administrative subdivision of the early Kingdom of Wessex.{{Citation|last=Yorke|first=Barbara|year=1995|title=Wessex in the early Middle Ages|publisher=Leicester University Press|isbn=071851856X|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7btzAsuOAWAC&pg=PA40|page=40|accessdate=2014-06-15}} The Sunningas inhabited Sonning and its environs, in the modern county of Berkshire; their territory adjoined that of the Readingas, centered on Reading to the west, and the Basingas, whose capital was Basingstoke, to the south. The subdivision retained a role beyond the Anglo-Saxon period as Sonning remained the administrative centre for a distinctive grouping of hundreds throughout the Middle Ages.
