thumb|Puġat was called "she who carries water."
Puġat or Pughat (, Virolleaud, e.g. 2:15: connection to the woman's personal name Puʿah) is a character in the Ugaritic poem of the Tale of Aqhat in Canaanite religion. Her name is the common noun for 'girl' and she and Aqhat are the children of Danel, a man of Rpʼu, which is either a deity or a clan that might be linked to Rephah, the Ephraimite clan. She is described as follows: "She who carries water / she who collects dew on her hair / she who knows the course of the stars."
