Kudō Suketsugu (工藤 祐継, 1120 - 1162) was a Japanese samurai of the late Heian period.
[1] Suketsugu was born in 1120,[2] the son of Kudō Suketaka and his second wife.
Although he was not expected to become the heir to his family, after his elder brother Itō Sukeie died, Suketsugu became the heir to the family and inherited the Itō Manor.
[3] However, Sukechika did not accept the fact that Suketsune, not in the lineage of the eldest son, would inherit the manor, and invaded Suketsune's territory following Suketsugu's death.
[4] According to Soga Monogatari Manabon, Suketsugu died in 1162 at the age of 42.
