The Kadu people (Burmese: ကဒူး/ကတူးလူမျိုး; also spelt Kado) are an ethnic group in Myanmar. They speak the Kadu language. They mostly reside in the country's northwestern hills, centred around Katha, and are ethnolinguistically related to the Ganan and Sak peoples. The Kadu traditionally cultivate rice on irrigated terraces.
