Wittdün (Öömrang: Witjdün, ) is a municipality on the island of Amrum in the district of Nordfriesland in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
== History == thumb|left|View of Wittdün in 1895. Unlike the other villages of Amrum, Wittdün is a relatively young settlement. It was founded in 1890 as a seaside resort next to a new ferry port connecting the island to mainland Nordfriesland. The reason for founding this new village was the fear of many islanders of a decline of their Frisian culture due to the influx of tourists from the south. So, many Amrumers thought that concentrating the emerging seaside tourism in a single village would protect the local community from malign influences.
