En-hegal, also Enhengal (Sumerian: ๐’‚—๐’ƒถ๐’……, en-แธซeโ‚‚-ล‹alโ‚‚; fl.โ€‰c. 2570 BC), was possibly an ancient ruler of the Sumerian city-state of Lagash. Only one inscription mentioning him is known, the "Tablet of En-hegal", describing a business transaction. If indeed a king of Lagash, it is estimated he would have ruled around 2570 BC.

The tablet with his name describes a business transaction, in which a possible King En-hegal buys land. He seems to have purchased about 1,000 hectares of land. A tentative translation of the tablet was published by George Barton.
