Miliduch or Miliduh (, , ; d. 806) was an Early Slavic ruler (duke) of the Sorbs, a Polabian Slavic ancestral tribe of modern Sorbs.
Formerly allied to Charlemagne, the Sorbs ended their vassalage to the Franks and rebelled, invading Austrasia. King Charles the Younger launched a campaign against the Slavs in Bohemia in 805, and after killing Duke Lecho of the Bohemians, Charles himself crossed the Saale with his army in 806 and clashed with Polabian Slavs near modern-day Weißenfels, gaining victory, while Slavic duke Miliduch fell in the battle. The region was laid to waste, upon which the other Slavic chieftains submitted and gave hostages.
