松迪亚塔（Sundiata），马里帝国的开创者，曼丁戈人传说中的民族英雄。

松迪亚塔在1212年前后出生于凯塔家族控制下的尼亚尼。根据传说，松迪亚塔幼年时不会走路，在一棵神圣面包树的树枝的帮助下才学会蹒跚。松迪亚塔有一个同父异母的兄弟，即丹卡兰国王。松迪亚塔早年被放逐出家族，后在尼亚尼遭到苏苏人首领苏曼古鲁的威胁时返回。在其号召下，曼丁戈人诸势力联合起来，于1235年在基里纳战役中彻底击败苏苏人。战后，松迪亚塔被公推为“曼萨”，创建了马里帝国。松迪亚塔约去世于1255年前后。

Sundiata Keita (IPA (Mandinka, Malinke, Bambara): [sʊndʒæta keɪta]) (c. 1217 – c. 1255) was a puissant prince and founder of the Mali Empire. The famous Malian ruler Mansa Musa who made a pilgrimage to Mecca was his grandnephew.

Written sources augment the Mande oral histories, with the Moroccan traveller Muhammad ibn Battúta (1304-1368) and the Tunisian historian Abu Zayd 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Muhammad ibn Khaldun al-Hadrami (1332-1406) both travelling to Mali in the century after Sundiata’s death and both providing powerful testimonies of Sundiata’s existence. The semi-historical Epic of Sundiata by the Mandinka people centers on his life. The epic poem is primarily known through oral tradition, transmitted by generations of Mandinka griots (djeli or jeliw).
