Avanduse () is a village in Väike-Maarja Parish, Lääne-Viru County, in northeastern Estonia.

==Name== Avanduse was attested in historical sources as Auendoys in 1241, Avendes in 1494, and Катко (Авандусъ) in 1900. The Finnish linguist Lauri Kettunen compared the name to the common noun avandus (genitive: avanduse) 'open place; hole (cut) in the ice' and Finnish avanto 'hole (cut) in the ice'. The name Катко in the 1900 attestation refers to Katkuküla, the original village name at the site of today's Avanduse (which referred to what is now Simuna). The name Katkuküla is derived from katk (genitive: katku) 'quagmire' plus küla 'village'.
