Pudagla is a municipality in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district, in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.
The first documented mention of Pudagla was in the year 1270 as "Pudgla", also written as "Putglow". This is a transliteration of the slavic ''pad glowe'' (at the hill) and is related to present-day Glaubensberg south of the village at Schmollensee. The name of this hill is derived from "glowa“ - (plattdeutsch "Glaube").Manfred Niemeyer: ''Ostvorpommern I''. Quellen- und Literatursammlung zu den Ortsnamen. Bd. 1: Usedom.
