Goudi (, since 2006; formerly Γουδί ) is a suburb on the eastern part of Athens, Greece and on the foothills of Mount Hymettus.

==History== The area's name derives from the 19th-century Goudis (Γουδής) family, who owned an estate there. Currently, there are three university hospitals (Laiko and two children's hospitals) and the main campuses for the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Dentistry of the Athens University School of Health Sciences. The area's main square is St. Thomas' Square, with the church of St. Thomas in its middle.
