Ashur-nadin-ahhe I (Aššur-nādin-aḫḫē I)^[3] was a king of Assyria in the 15th century BC. He took power after the death of his father, Ashur-rabi I. During his reign, Assyria became a sporadic vassal of Mitanni. He was overthrown by his brother Enlil-Nasir II.^[4]

A letter survives from him congratulating Egyptian Pharaoh Thutmose III on his victories in Palestine and Syria.^[5]

Notes

^ The length of Ashur-nadin-ahhe I's reign is broken off in all known copies of the Assyrian King List and it is impossible to calculate how long it lasted.^[1] The dates used here are speculative approximations by Düring (2020).^[2]
