My initial research that there wasn't exactly, however there does seem to be a Roman god of poop, Sterquilinus.

Here's some information regarding the Roman deity.
link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterquilinus

Early Romans were an agrarian civilization and, functionally, most of their original pantheon of gods (not the later ones they adapted to Greek stereotypes) were of a rural nature with figures such as Pomona, Ceres, Flora, Dea Dia; so it was only apt for them to have a god supervising the basics of organic fertilization."

I found a few sites that list Greek equivalents to Roman gods, and the few I've found so far do not list a Greek equivalent.
