Iptar-Sin or IB.TAR.Sînnb 1 (reading uncertain; died c. 1650 BC), was the 51st Assyrian king according to the Assyrian King List.i 1 He reigned for 12 years some time during the 17th century BC.
Succession line and contemporaries
The Assyrian King List provides a sequence of five kings with short reigns purported to be father-son successions, leading Landsberger to suggest that Libaya, Sharma-Adad I, and Iptar-Sin may have been brothers of Belu-bani rather than his descendants. The list reports Iptar-Sin as the son of Sharma-Adad I. He is omitted from the list on another fragment.i 22 He is called LIK.KUD-Šamaš on the Synchronistic King Listi 3 which gives his Babylonian counterpart as mDIŠ+U-EN (reading unknown), an unidentified person inserted between the reigns of Gulkišar and his son Pešgaldarameš of the Sealand Dynasty.
He was succeeded by Bazaya.
