Marduk (Cuneiform: 𒀭𒀫𒌓dAMAR.UTU; Sumerian: amar utu.k "calf of the sun; solar calf"; Hebrew: מְרֹדַךְ, Modern: Merōdaḵ, Tiberian: Mərōḏaḵ) is a god from ancient Mesopotamia and patron deity of the city of Babylon who eventually rose to power in the First Millennium BC.

By the 1st millennium BC, Marduk had become astrologically associated with the planet Jupiter. He was a prominent figure in Babylonian ancient near eastern cosmology, especially in the Enūma Eliš creation myth.
