Nabû-nādin-zēri, inscribed^m[^dNa]bû-nādìn-zēri in theKing List A,^{[i 1]} the only place his full name is given, andNa-di-nu orNa-din in theChronicle on the Reigns from Nabû-Nasir to Šamaš-šuma-ukin known asChronicle 1,^{[i 2]} was the king ofBabylon (733–732 BC), son and successor ofNabû-Nasir (747–734 BC). The Ptolemaic Canon gives his name as Νάδιος or Νάβιος, similar to the Chronicle version of his name.^[1]

His accession followed shortly after the first incursions of the newly emboldenedNeo-Assyrian state. He was one of the kings who were contemporary withTukultī-apil-Ešarra III, theAssyrian king who would later (729 BC) go on to conquer Babylon. In the second year of his reign, he was toppled and killed (dīk) in an insurrection led by a provincial official (bēl pīḫati) namedNabû-šuma-ukīn, who in turn was to retain the throne for little more than one month. There are no known texts from his reign.^[2] The overthrow of his dynasty and its replacement by a usurper may have provided Tukultī-apil-Ešarra with the excuse to invade.^[3]
