In anatomy, the gastroduodenal artery is a small blood vessel in the abdomen.

It supplies blood directly to the pylorus (distal part of the stomach) and proximal part of the duodenum.

It also indirectly supplies the pancreatic head (via the anterior and posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal arteries).
