The name "Amnidab" can either relate to:
- A far distant ancestor of Jesus Christ, mentioned in the [Bible].
- A member of the true Church in the Book of Mormon that fell away.
He is mentioned in Helaman 5: 35-41 of the Book of Mormon. He is said to have been a Nephite, and a member of the Church. However, evidently he fell away from the Church, and became associated with the [Lamanites], as a guard in their prisons. When Nephi and Lehi are visited with angels, and the other Lamanite guards wonder what is going on, Aminidab tells them "They do converse with the angels of God". When they ask him how they too might be visited by the angels of God, he told them "You must repent, and cry unto the voice, even until ye shall have faith in Christ". From the verses following, it is assumed that he also prayed in faith, had his body encircled about with fire, and became converted again to the Gospel.
