Ammon( /ˈæm.ʌn/) is a missionary in the Mormon religious text, Book of Mormon and a contemporary of Alma the Younger. The Book of Mosiah describes his original antipathy toward the Nephite Church of God and his subsequent conversion after a sudden vision of an angel. As one of the royal Sons of Mosiah and likely the oldest, he was approached to eventually succeed his father as king but opted instead to minister among their Lamanite enemies as a missionary. His missionary journeys appear in the Book of Alma as the most detailed of any missionary activities in the Book of Mormon.
