Aššūr-nādin-apli, inscribed maš-šur-SUM-DUMU.UŠ,[2] was a king of Assyria, reigning in 1206 BC–1203 BC or 1196 BC–1194 BC (short chronology). The alternate dating is due to uncertainty over the length of reign of a later monarch, Ninurta-apal-Ekur, where conflicting king lists differ by ten years. His name meant "Aššur is the giver of an heir"[3] in the Akkadian language. He was a son of Tukulti-Ninurta I.[i 1]
