Ishgum-Addu or Ishgum-Addad (𒅖𒄣𒀭𒅎 iš-gum DIŠKUR), or more probably Ishkun-Dagan (𒅖𒆲𒀭𒁕𒃶 iš-kun Dda-gan),[1] was a ruler of the city of Mari, northern Mesopotamia, for eight years c. 2135-2127 BCE, after the fall of the Akkadian Empire.[2] He had a son named Apil-kin, according to the Shakkanakku Dynasty List, who ruled after him.[3]
Ishgum-Addu appears in the Shakkanakku Dynasty Lists after Ishtup-Ilum.[3][4][5] Besides his mention on the Shakkanakku List, no inscriptions are known of him.[1]
