Lugalshaengur was governor of Lagash, circa 2600 BCE.

Lugalshaengur (Sumerian: 𒈗𒊮𒇉, Lugal-sha-engur), (c. 2600 BCE), was ensi (governor) of the Sumerian city-state of Lagash.[3]

The First dynasty of Lagash is dated to the 25th century BCE. Lugalshaengur wastributary to Mesilim.[citation needed] Following the hegemony of Mesannepada of Ur, Ur-Nanshe succeeded Lugalshaengur as the new high priest of Lagash and achieved independence, making himself king. He defeated Ur and captured the king of Umma, Pabilgaltuk.[4][5]

Lugalshaengur is known by an inscription on the head of a mace dedicated by King MesilimofKish, who was therefore contemporary with him.[3][6]
