Sitones were a Germanic people living somewhere in Northern Europe in the 1st century CE. They are only mentioned by Cornelius Tacitus in 97 CE in Germania. Tacitus considered them a Germanic people similar to Suiones (ancestors of modern Swedes): "Upon the Suiones, border the people Sitones; and, agreeing with them in all other things, differ from them in one, that here the sovereignty is exercised by a woman.

- Sithonen ist eine Bezeichnung für die Nordeurasischen Stämme, östlich von Skandinavien und dem Baltikum.
- I Sitoni furono un popolo vissuto in Scandinavia nel I secolo. Vengono citati solo da Tacito nel 97 nella sua Germania. Tacito li considerava un popolo simile ai Sueoni, ma non è chiaro se appartenessero, al pari di questi, ai popoli germanici settentrionali.

So notoriously do they degenerate not only from a state of liberty, but even below a state of bondage. " Speculations on Sitones' background are numerous. According to one theory, the name is a partial misunderstanding of Sigtuna, one of the central locations in the Swedish kingdom, that is known to have had a Latin spelling "Situne" much later. Related to this may be a memory of a period in which the Swedes were ruled by a certain queen as described in the Disas saga. Some historians see the Sitones to have been early inhabitants of the ancient Kvenland, locating north and northeast from the Norse and Svea (Swede) populations.
