The wiki doesn't have anything on this. I was thinking maybe the Archdevil Geryon, as he's the same alignment and associated with water.
the Demon lord, Dagon could also make sense. As would the evil water elemental lord, Kelizandri.

I have tried looking on 1es AoN, but the Sahuagin high priestess and Sahuagin underpriestess don't specify a deity despite being clerics. The only clues you get from them are the domains and languages;
The Underpriestess has destruction and water as domains, and knows Aklo in addition to the usual Sahuagin languages.
The High Priestess (who is a higher level) has destruction and travel as domains, and knows Elven and Infernal in addition to the usual Sahuagin languages.
I'm not sure who (if anyone) they are supposed to be worshipping from that information. It is likely they are just generic clerics who the GM can just decide who they worship, or that they are meant to be part of some obscure cult that might not actually worship a specific known deity.
edit: It is mentioned somewhere that a bunch of sahuagin live in the plane of water, led there by a "prophet", and that the plane of water sahuagin have fractured into various separate groups, many of which are led by various cults. Some of those groups would probably worship Kelizandri, and the prophet in question could either have been connected to Kelizandri or just an oracle (which are often divine magic users with a connection to some vague concept rather than a specific deity).
Another possibility, despite Sahuagin hating them, is an Aboleth (a Veiled Master in this case) could masquerade as a deity to control a tribe of Sahuagin.

Oh! I found something by searching "Sahuagin" on the 2e AoN;
Dagon is primarily worshipped by boggards, sahuagin, skum, and marsh giants, though desperate or depraved coastal villages have been known to pledge themselves to the demon lord.
Additionally, I found this in the entry for Brine Dragons, who like to rule over and impose law and order upon various aquatic communities;
A settlement seeded by a brine dragon can be made of members of almost any ancestry, but the most common inhabitants are humans, merfolk, tengus, or sahuagin.
edit: I don't think any one deity is for all Sahuagin though - different Sahuagin groups probably worship different deities.

Assuming the Underpriestess and High Priestess are meant to be worshipping the same deity, Kelizandri is the *only* one (on AoN) that offers the Destruction, Travel, and Water domains in 1E.
Sahuagin are LE, so I I would expect them to worship Archdevils, Horsemen, and Queen's of the Night.
Geryon seems particularly appropriate, as his realm contains sunken ruins (very Sahuagin). Kelizandri also makes sense as he is the water Elemental Lord. While Charon has water, he doesn't seem on theme otherwise.
Per their write-up in the Bestiary, "individuals are rewarded based on their performance during hunts and shore excursions." Szuriel (despite having the fire domain) seems a better fit.
Urgathoa could also work.
I could also see them worshiping some Sahuagin god. Good domains would be Destruction, Might, Pain, Toil, Tyrany, Water and Zeal.
