The Varduli (also Vardulli) were an ancient people of the northern coast of the Iberian Peninsula, in what is now Gipuzkoa and the eastern part of Álava. They are recorded by Greek and Roman geographers from the 1st century BC onward, set between the Caristii to the west and the Vascones to the east. Under Roman rule, the unit raised from them, the cohors I Fida Vardullorum, became one of the better-attested auxiliary regiments serving in Britain. Their name was still in use in the 5th century as the regional term Vardulia.
