Bandue (previously recorded as Bandua) was a theonym used to refer to a god or goddess worshipped in Iberia by Callaeci and Lusitanians. Whether the name referred to a discrete deity or was an epithet applied to different deities is arguable.
== Name == This deity is variously attested as Bandi, Bandei, Bandu, Bandue, Banduae, Bandiae. The name is generally attested in the indigenous Galaico-Lusitanian inflection. Old scholarship usually recorded this theonym as Bandua due to misunderstanding by mistakenly considering that the theonym was recorded in Latin inflection.
