King Ahebi Ugbabe (died 1948) was king (eze) and warrant chief of Enugu-Ezike, Nigeria. She was the only female king in colonial Nigeria.: 2 Her life's impact is described by Nwando Achebe: "She was a 'slave' married to a deity, a runaway, a pastor, a headman, a warrant chief, and ultimately a female king. She was a strong leader of her people, yet also a collaborator empowered by and serving the British colonial regime in Nigeria.": 2
