The SabianMandaean Mandi of Baghdad (Arabic: مندي الصابئة المندائية), also known as Mandae Sabean Mandae, is a Mandaean temple in Baghdad, Iraq. It is located on the banks of the Tigris River in the Al-Qadisiyah neighborhood. Rishama Sattar Jabbar Hilow is the official head of the Mandi. The Mandi serves as the main administrative center for the Iraqi Mandaeans.

In the early 1980s, the Mandi was built on land originally owned by the Iraqi Ministry of Finance that was allocated to the Mandaean community, with an area of approximately 1,200 square metres. It has ritual halls and a guesthouse to receive and accommodate visitors.
