Dimmeku (also read as Dimpimeku), Dimku or Ḫedimku was a Mesopotamian goddess or demon associated with the underworld. From the Old Babylonian period on she was associated with Namtar, and in the god list An = Anum she appears as his daughter. It has been suggested that the similarly named Ḫedimmeku, who is attested in the same source as a daughter of Enki, was identical with her, though this conclusion is not universally accepted.

==Name and character== The oldest variants of the name, ddìm-PI-ku (d.dìmdimme-ku) from the compositions The Death of Ur-Namma and The Death of Gilgamesh and ddìm-PI.ME-ku (d.dìmdimmeme-ku) from the Nippur god list, according to Dina Katz should be read as Dimmeku. This conclusion is also supported by Jeremiah Peterson. However, the readings Dimpiku and Dimpimeku can be found in older literature. In the incantation series Udug-hul the form ddìm-kù, Dimku, occurs. Later sources spell the name as dḫé-dìm-kù, which is presumed to be a variant or a result of textual corruption.
