The Esuvii (or Esubii; Gaulish: Esuuii) were a Gallic tribe dwelling between the lower Seine and the Loire river, in what is now Normandy, during the Iron Age and the Roman period.

== Name == They are mentioned as Esuvii (var. Essuvii, Sesuvii) by Caesar (mid-1st c. BC). The Esuvii are often identified with the Atesui, an otherwise obscure tribe mentioned by Pliny (1st c. AD), on the basis of the similarity between the two names.
