Sogdiana or Sogdia (Tajik: Суғд - Old Persian: Sughuda; Persian: سغد; Chinese: 粟特 - Sùtè) was the ancient civilization of an Iranian people and a province of the Achaemenid Persian Empire, the eighteenth in the list in the Behistun Inscription of Darius the Great (i. 16).

It became a highly advanced country in its own right between the third and eighth centuries AD, under the name of Sogdiana, and there is considerable evidence, in both the artistic legacy and the coinage of this region, that the culture of this kingdom was enriched by the foreign travels of many of its citizens.

Sogdiana is an historical region of Central Asia currently comprised of Southern Uzbekistan and Western Tajikistan. Her population was Iranian in culture and language even if many aspects still remain enigmatic. The existence of such a population has been known for a long time, thanks mainly to Chinese sources.
