Ishma-Dagan (𒅖𒈣𒀭𒁕𒃶, Ish-ma-Dda-gan; died c. 2154 BC) was a ruler of the city of Mari, one of the military governors known as Shakkanakku in northern Mesopotamia, in the later period of the Akkadian Empire.[2] According to the dynastic lists, he ruled for 45 years, after Shu-Dagan, and was the third Shakkanakku ruler.[3] Ishma-Dagan was probably contemporary with the Akkadian ruler Shar-Kali-Sharri.[4] He had two sons who succeeded him in turn as Shakkanakkus of Mari: Nûr-Mêr and Ishtup-Ilum.[3]

He is also known from inscriptions by his son Ishtup-Ilum mentioning his father, in dedication tablets for the building of a temple:[2]
