Xexanoth is a fictional character from Clark Ashton Smith's Cthulhu Mythos work.
It appears only once in "The Chain of Aforgomon", where it is summoned by the main character.

I was still weak with the loss of blood I had yielded to Xexanoth; my senses were full of strange shadows; my servitors, coming and going about me, were as phantoms, and scarcely I heeded the pale fear in their eyes or heard the dreadful things they whispered....
