Tammaritu (died in 653 BCE) was a prince of Elam and son of Teumman, king of the ancient kingdom of Elam, who ruled from 664 to 653 BCE,[2] and was a contemporary with the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal (668 - c. 627 BCE). In various sources, the name may be found spelled as Te’umman,[2] Teumann, or Te-Umman. For a time, "many scholars, beginning with G.G. Cameron," believed him to have been the Tepti-Huban-Inshushinak mentioned in inscriptions, although this view has since fallen from favor.[2]
