Tudy (Tudi, Tudec, Tudinus, Tegwin, Thetgo, Tydie) of Landevennec was a Breton saint of the 5th or 6th century. He was a hermit who founded monasteries at Landévennec in Brittany, France and in Cornwall, England. The village of St Tudy in Cornwall is named for him. He may have been a disciple of Maudez (Maudet, Mawes), after whom St Mawes is named.{{cite book |last= Ferrar |first= John William |title= The Saints of Cornwall |publisher= Society for promoting christian knowledge |location= London |year= 1920 |page= 27 |isbn= }} His companions may have included Corentinus and Brioc.
