Marduk-apla-uṣur, inscribed dAMAR.UTU-A-ŠE[Š],[i 1] or mdŠID-A-[x],[i 2] meaning 'O Marduk, protect the heir' was an 8th century BC Chaldean tribal leader who ruled as King of Babylon after the reign of Marduk-bēl-zēri. He is known only from three inscriptions and ruled during a period of chaos.[1]: 215 He should not be confused with the Marduk-apla-uṣur who ruled Suḫi on the middle Euphrates and paid tribute to Salmānu-ašarēdu III a generation or so earlier.[1]: 201
