Odùduwà (, also pronounced Ooduwa, Odudua or Oòdua) was a Yoruba divine king, an Oriṣa in the Yoruba religion, and the progenitor who ushered in the classical period that later led to the foundation of the Ife Empire. His earthly origins are from the village of Oke Ora. According to tradition, he was the holder of the title of the Olofin of Ile-Ife, the Yoruba holy city. He ruled there briefly and also served as the progenitor of a number of independent royal dynasties in Yorubaland, with the praise names Olofin Adimula and Olofin Ayé.
