Adad-šuma-uṣur inscribed dIM-MU-ŠEŠ meaning O Adad protect the name! and dated very tentatively ca. 1216–1187 BC (short chronology) was the 32nd king of the 3rd or Kassite dynasty of Babylon and the country contemporarily known as Karduniaš. His name was wholly Babylonian and not uncommon as for example the later Assyrian King Esarhaddon (681–669 BC) had a personal exorcist or ašipu with the same name who was unlikely to have been related.
