Nahundi or Nahhundi (in Akkadian, Nahhunte) was the ancient Persian Elamite god of the sun and of law. His name means "creator of the day". Little else is known about this deity.

A great 12th century BCE king of Elam, Shutur Nahundi (Shutruk-Nahhunte), was named after this god.

A stele from Susa dated to the second millennium BCE can be found at the Louvre, which portrays the deity administering justice.
