Shivaduti () is a manifestation of the Hindu mother goddess Adi Parashakti.

== Iconography == In the Kalika Purana, Shivaduti is described as having a dark complexion, with long matted hair, three eyes, and holding a scimitar, while her right foot rests on the back of a jackal and her left foot tramples a corpse of an asura. She possesses ten incarnations (yoginis): Kshemankari, Shanta, Devamata, Mahodari, Karali, Kamada, Bhagasya, Bhagamalini, Bhagavaha, and Subhaga.
