Ishtup-Ishar (Ištup-Išar) (fl.c. 2400 BC)[1] was a king (Lugal) of the second Mariote kingdom. The king's name was traditionally read as Išhtup-šar, with šar being a common divine element in personal names attested in the region.[2] However, the king's name is read as Ishtup-Ishar by Alfonso Archi, Ishar being an important justice deity worshiped in Mari and Ebla.[3]
