Anubis (do grego antigo: Ἄνουβις) é o nome grego do deus asociado coa momificación e co Alén na relixión do Antigo Exipto. Adoitaba ser representado como un cánido ou como un home con cabeza de cánido. Os arqueólogos identificaron o animal sagrado de Anubis co chacal dourado, mais recentes probas xenéticas indican que se trataba do lobo dourado africano.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]

Nome

"Anubis" é o termo grego adaptado do nome exipcio do deus.^[6] No Imperio Antigo de Exipto (c. -2686 e c. -2181), a forma estándar do nome escrito en xeróglifos estaba composto dos sons ı͗npw seguido dun "chacal"^[7] sobre un símbolo Hotep:^[8]

Unha nova forma co "chacal" nun alto apareceu a finais do Imperio Antigo e fíxose común a partir de entón:^[8]

Segundo a transcrición acadia nas cartas de Amarna, o nome de Anubis (ı͗npw) era vocalizado en exipcio como Anapa.^[9]
