Suite Sud-Armoricaine is a bawdy Breton song in the Breton language, popularized by Alan Stivell in the 1970s. It was the first and so far only, song in Breton to make the number one chart spot on French radio Europe 1.

Lyrics Pardon Speied (the Pardon (ceremony) of the village of Spézet) date from 1950s and they are in the public domain because the author is unknown. The song is originally a Breton traditional musical air.
