The Xo Dang (or Xe Dang, Sedang; Vietnamese: Người Xơ Đăng) are an ethnic group of Vietnam. They mainly inhabit the Kon Tum province. They are made up of five main groups: the Sedang, Kayong, Halang, Monom and Todrah.

Their main source of income is farming, but before the 20th century, they mostly relied on hunting and gathering. They are also known to be raising cattle and poultry.

Religiously, they are largely animistic. Their language is part of the Mon–Khmer language family.

They celebrate Peng Chupi Festival.
