Uhub was king of Kish, circa 2500 BCE.

His name is missing from the Sumerian king list, just as the name of Mesilim, who ruled around fifty years later.[8][9] Uhub is mentioned on a vase dedicated to god Zababa.[10][9] The first inscription has been reconstructed as π’€­π’π’ˆ π’ˆ  / π’Œ‘π’„Έ / 𒑐𒋼𒋛 / 𒆧𒆠, Zamama, Uhub ensi kish-ki "Zababa, Uhub, Governor of Kish".[11]

Uhub is otherwise known from a few more inscriptions.[12]
