Qandisa (QandiĊĦa) is a female mythological figure in Northern Moroccan mythology. Known in folk tales either as a goddess of lust, or simply as a female demon, she lives in springs and rivers.

Qandisa seduces young men and then drives them insane.

On the summer solstice, sacrifices are made to her. Qandisa is a possible version of an older goddess such as Astarte.
