Galindians (Galindai in Old Prussian) is an extinct Old Prussian clan (formerly, until the 5-6th century – entire West-Baltic tribe,– Ptolemy was the first to mention them in the 2nd century), which lived in Galindia (today Central Masuria, Poland (so-called Western Galindians).

Galindians is also an extinct East-Baltic tribe, which from the 4th century lived in the basin of the Protva River, near the modern Russian towns of Mozhaysk, Vereya, and Borovsk (so-called Eastern Galindians).

Their name is thought to derive from the Baltic word galas ("the end"), alluding to the fact that they settled farther south and farther east than any other Baltic tribes. The Western Galindians ceased to exist in the 16-17th century, and the Eastern Galindians – in 15-16th century.

It is probable that the Eastern Galindians occupied all the Kaluga Oblast and a part of Moskva Oblast, until the Early East Slavs invaded the area in the 6th century. The Ruthenian chronicles first mention them as Golyad' in 1058. Yury Dolgoruky arranged a campaign against them in 1147, the year he founded Moscow in the land of the Eastern Galindians.
