Tura-Dagan (𒌅𒊏𒀭𒁕𒃶, Tu-ra-Dda-gan; died c. 2050 BC) was a ruler of the city of Mari, northern Mesopotamia during the Ur III period. He was son of Apil-Kin, and brother of Ili-Ishar. He held the title of Shakkanakku (military governor), which was borne by all the princes of a dynasty who reigned at Mari in the late third millennium and early second millennium BC. These kings were the descendants of the military governors appointed by the kings of Akkad. He was contemporary of the Third Dynasty of Ur, and probably their vassal.
