Ubtao is a fictional god in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game. He is the chief human god worshipped on the peninsula of Chult. He is described as a passive, unemotional deity, and his symbol is the maze[who?].

Clerics of Ubtao are known as the Mazewalkers[who?]. In addition, the deity's faith also includes rangers and jungle-dwelling druids. Aside from humans, Ubtao also counts the catlike tabaxi among his worshippers. He is allied to the wild dwarf god Thard Harr and is the mortal enemy of Eshowdow the Shadow Giant and the serpent deity Sseth.

It is Ubtao's duty to stand guard at the Peaks of Flame to keep vigil against the day when Dendar the Night Serpent emerges to doom the world by eating the sun. In exchange for this sacrifice, the other gods of Faerûn promised to leave Ubtao's domain alone from competing deities.
