Os Culdees (em irlandês: Céilí Dé, lit. "Companheiros de Deus") eram membros de comunidades monásticas e eremíticas cristãs ascéticas da Irlanda, Escócia, País de Gales e Inglaterra na Idade Média. Aparecendo primeiro na Irlanda e posteriormente na Escócia, ligados a catedrais ou igrejas colegiadas, eles viviam de maneira monástica, embora não fizessem votos monásticos.
