Potrimpo (also known as Potrimpus, Autrimpo, Natrimpe) was named as the god of seas or grain in Prussian mythology. He was one of the three main deities worshiped by the Old Prussians.

According to Simon Grunau, Potrimpo was god of grain and was one of the members of pagan trinity together with thunder god Perkūnas and death god Peckols. He was also depicted on the Flag of Widewuto as as a young, merry man with a wreath of grain on his ears. As creatures of Potrimpo, snakes were worshiped and given milk.
