Psammuthis was an Upper Egyptian ruler of the 29th Dynasty (late period). His reign is from 393 to 392 BC. Chr. Indicated. Psammuthis is the Greek transcription of the ancient Egyptian proper name Pascherienmut .

He appears as the anti-king of Achoris , whom he ousted shortly after taking up his government, before he came back to power 1 year later.

Structurally, Psammuthis is attested by a chapel built in Karnak that was usurped by Achoris. He may also be responsible for the completion and decoration of the sacrificial magazines south of the Holy Lake. A granite block with dedicatory inscription comes from Achmim . Demotic graffiti testify to him in Saqqara ; there is also a scarab .
