Spuds is an unincorporated community in St. Johns County, Florida, United States. The name is appropriate, as it lies in a region that depends economically on potato growing and other agriculture. As well as potatoes, the land around Spuds provides gladioli.[1][2] A camp for German prisoners of war was built in Spuds during WWII, close to the intersection between State Roads 206 and 207.[3]

Spuds is located at Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. (29.7394, -81.4717).[4] It is located near the intersection of State Road 207, which six miles to the south-west leads to Hastings and 25 miles to the north-east leads to St. Augustine, and County Road 13, which eventually leads to Jacksonville, 50 miles to the north. A Florida East Coast Railway line used to run through Spuds from St. Augustine to Hastings, with a stop also called Spuds.[5]
