Ningikuga was a Mesopotamian goddess. Her name can be explained as nin-gi-kug-a(k), "lady of the pure reed".

A tradition according to which Ningikuga was a wife of Enki is known. In the Old Babylonian An = Anum forerunner she occurs in his circle after Damgalnuna, while in An = Anum itself she is outright equated with her. In the latter list she appears in line 178 of tablet II, before Ninti.
