Shanip (Ammonite: 𐤔𐤍𐤁‎ ŠNB; Akkadian: 𒊭𒉌𒁍, romanized: Ša-ni-pu) was king of Ammon in the mid eighth century BCE.[1] He is mentioned as a vassal of the Assyrian king Tiglath-Pilesar III.[2][3]

Sanipu paid tribute to Tiglath-Pilesar III. This tribute included metals such as gold, silver, tin, and iron, as well as with antimony. Additionally, the tribute featured "linen garments with multicolored trimmings" [4]

He was probably succeeded by Peduel.
