Dededo (Chamorro: Dedidu; formerly in Spanish: [deðeðo]) is the most populated village in the United States territory of Guam.
Dededo grew into a major village after the war when the U.S. Navy constructed housing for displaced Guamanians and for laborers coming from off-island to help in Guam's development.
