Lutipri
King of Urartu
Reignc. 844–834 BC
PredecessorAramu
SuccessorSarduri I
IssueSarduri I

Lutipri was the father of the Urartian king Sarduri I.[1]

Lutipri may have ruled Urartu between 844 and 834 BCE, in a period of obscurity after the destruction of the former capital Arzashkun by Shalmaneser III.[2]

As Sarduri I may have established a new dynasty, it is possible that his father, Lutipri, was not actually a king of Urartu.[3]
