Ngenechen (also known as Ngunechen, Nguenechen, Guenechen, Guinechen) is one of the most important Ngen spirits within traditional mapuche religion; and is the most important deity in the present beliefs of the Mapuche people.

Ngenechen originally was only the Ngen spirit "governor of the Mapuche people" and not creator god; but product of syncretism with the Catholicism, now also is the "Supreme Being" in Mapuche Religious, and synonym for God of Abrahamic religions.
