Lugal-kisalsi, also Lugaltarsi (𒈗𒆦𒋛, lugal-kisal-si, also 𒈗𒋻𒋛, lugal-tar-si, lugal-sila-si; fl. c. 2400 BC)[3] was a King of Uruk and Ur who lived towards the end of the 25th century BC, succeeding his father Lugal-kinishe-dudu, according to contemporary inscriptions,[4] although he does not appear in the Sumerian King List (but his father does in some versions).[5][6] In one of his inscriptions, he appears as "Lugalkisalsi, the first-born son of Lugalkigenedudu, king of Uruk and Ur".[7]
He had a son named Lubarasi, and a grandson named Silim-Utu.[8] Numerous inscriptions in his name are known.[9]
