Dyuden or Tudan (Russian: Тудан) was a brother of Toqta, the khan of the Golden Horde and a great grandson of Batu Khan. He was appointed as a general by Toqta and his campaign devastated 14 towns in the territory of modern Russia in 1293, including Moscow, while the grand prince, Dmitry, was forced to flee to Pskov, allowing Andrey to take the title of grand prince.
Dyudan had a son, Shchelkan, who was Özbeg Khan's ambassador in the Principality of Tver in 1327.
