Mamitu (Mammitum, Mammitu, Mammi[1]) was a Mesopotamian goddess associated with the underworld. She was regarded as the wife of Nergal, or sometimes of other gods regarded as analogous to him, such as Erra. Her importance in Mesopotamian religion was minor, and she was most likely chiefly worshiped in Kutha, though attestations are available from other cities too. It is possible that she was the forerunner of Mandean Amamit.
