Uhub

Uhub (, u2-hub2), (), 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 , Zamama, Uhub ensi kish-ki "Zababa, Uhub, Governor of Kish".

Uhub is otherwise known from a few more inscriptions.
