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 about fifty years later. Uhub is mentioned onn a vase dedicated to god Zababa. 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".

Uhub is otherwise known from a few more inscriptions.
