Sedunners (Sedunnic: Sedunnjalē), sometimes alternatively Dures (Sedunnic: Dure'lē), are a Teggic nation and ethnic group native to Sedunn who share a common ancestry and history and/or culture and the Sedunnic language. They mostly live in Sedunn, but there is a significant diaspora clustered in coastal regions of the South Pacific. Sedunners are the majority of Sedunn's population. Several nations have officially recognised minorities of Sedunners, such as Valora, Huawan and Ikoania.

Sedunners mainly descend from the Proto-Beilltemmic Fingerprint Ware culture and the Absne culture that merged in Sedunn in the 6000s BCE. A smaller number of both male and female lineages descend from Enesic and Valki tribes who arrived after the formation of the first city states before 700 BCE. After the unification of the Duric city states into the Republic of Sedunn and especially after the invention of ocean-going ships and the resulting Sedunnic age of exploration, Sedunnic traders and their families settled down and formed many expat communities in coastal the regions of the South Pacific.
