Aganju (known as Agayú, Aggayú, Aganjú or Aganyú in Spanish speaking counties) is an Orisha. He is syncretized with Saint Christopher in the Cuban religion known as Santería.
Aganju is strongly associated with Shango. As king of Oyo, he was described as Shango's nephew, son of his brother Ajaka. Thus, both Shango and Aganju were, at one time, rulers of the Oyo empire who became deified.
