Uhub (Sumerian: ππΈ, u2-hub2), (fl.βc. 2570 BC), was Ensi (Governor) of the Sumerian city-state of Kish before Mesilim.
His name is missing from the Sumerian king list, just as the name of Mesilim, who ruled around 50 years later. Uhub is mentioned on a vase dedicated to the god Zababa. The first inscription has been reconstructed as πππ π / ππΈ / ππΌπ / π§π , Zamama, Uhub ensi kish-ki "Zababa, Uhub, Governor of Kish".
Uhub is otherwise known from a few more inscriptions.
