The Sabian–Mandaean Mandi of Baghdad (Arabic: مندي الصابئة المندائية) is a Mandaean temple in the Al-Qadisiyah neighborhood of Baghdad, Iraq.[1] It is located on the banks of the Tigris River. Rishama Sattar Jabbar Hilo is the official head of the mandi.[2]

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.[3][2]
