Aššur-nērārī II, inscribed^maš-šur-ERIM.GABA (=DÁḪ), "(the god)Aššur is my help,"^[2] was the king ofAssyria, the 68th to appear on theAssyrian Kinglist, ca. 1424–1418 BC or 1414–1408 BC depending on a later uncertainty in the chronology, at the tail end of the Old Assyrian period. The small city state ofAššur was a vassal state of theMitanni empire at this time and still recovering from their sacking of the city underŠauštatar.

He was the son ofEnlil-nāṣir II, who had preceded him on the Assyrian throne. According to theKhorsabad Kinglist^{[i 1]} he reigned for seven years, the corresponding columns on theNassouhi andSDAS Kinglists are damaged at this point.^[3] A legal text^{[i 2]} from Aššur is dated to the “Eponym of Ber-nādin-aḫḫe, son of Aššur-nērārī, supreme judge” and another^{[i 3]} gives the witness “Šamaš-kidinnu, son of Ibaši-ilu, son of Ber-nādin-aḫḫe, supreme judge.” The title and genealogy suggest Ber-nādin-aḫḫe may have been an otherwise unattested successor to Aššur-nērārī.^[4]

He was succeeded by his son,Aššur-bēl-nišešu.
