Ammonas of Egypt was an early 4th-century Christian anchorite and monk who lived as a Desert Father. A disciple of Anthony the Great, he eventually became the successor at the Pispir monastery. After spending fourteen years in Scetis, he initially resisted being ordained as a bishop, though he eventually accepted the role. He is recognized as a significant figure in the monastic tradition and is remembered for the various epistles he authored during his life.
