Rim-Sîn I (Akkadian: 𒀭𒊑𒅎𒀭𒂗𒍪, Dri-im-Dsuen) ruled the ancient Near East city-state of Larsa from 1822 BC to 1763 BC (MC). His sister En-ane-du was high priestess of the moon god in Ur. Rim-Sin I was a contemporary of Hammurabi of Babylon and Irdanene of Uruk. His father, Kudur-mabuk, may have been of Elamite descent, notwithstanding his Akkadian name.
