Podaga (also , ) is a Polabian deity who had his statue in a temple in Plön. Mentioned only in Helmold's Chronicle, which does not give a depiction or function of the deity.
According to Aleksander Brückner, it is impossible to read the name Podaga. Grigoriy Il'inskiy concluded that Podaga is another form of Dazhbog (from *Podabog), while Roman Jakobson concluded that Podaga is a corrupted notation of Dazhbog.
