东哥德人（Ostrogoths），港、台译作东哥德人，是哥德人的一个分支，3世纪时曾在黑海北边创建一个帝国。5世纪末在意大利创建东哥德王国。东哥德人自波罗的海地区向南扩张，建起一个其幅员由顿河至德涅斯特河（在今乌克兰西部）的大帝国。在4世纪时期，臻于鼎盛。被匈人武力入侵征服（374年）后，大部分东哥特人臣服匈人，成为匈人的民众，后一些东哥德人沿顿河（450年？）定居。后匈人在454年灭亡之后大部分东哥德人在狄奥多里克领导下入侵亚平宁半岛。493年狄奥多里克称意大利王。东罗马帝国皇帝查士丁尼一世征伐东哥特王国达二十年（535年？－554年），终彻底败于东罗马帝国。此后东哥德人即不复以一个民族存在于世。

The Ostrogoths (Latin:Ostrogothi or Austrogothi) were the eastern branch of the later Goths (the other major branch being the Visigoths). The Ostrogoths traced their origins to the Greutungi – a branch of the Goths who had migrated southward from the Baltic Sea and established a kingdom north of the Black Sea, during the 3rd and 4th centuries. They built up an empire stretching from the Black Sea to the Baltic. The Ostrogoths were probably literate in the 3rd century, and their trade with the Romans was highly developed. Their Danubian kingdom reached its zenith under King Ermanaric, who is said to have committed suicide at an old age when the Huns attacked his people and subjugated them in about 370.
