Iptar-Sin orIB.TAR.Sîn[nb 1] (reading uncertain), was the 51stAssyrian king according to theAssyrian King List.[i 1] He reigned for 12 years some time during the 17th century BC.
TheAssyrian King List provides a sequence of five kings with short reigns purported to be father-son successions, leading Landsberger to suggest thatLibaya,Sharma-Adad I and Iptar-Sin may have been brothers ofBelu-bani rather than his descendants. The list reports Iptar-Sin as the son of Sharma-Adad I. He is omitted from the list on another fragment.[i 2][2] He is called LIK.KUD-Šamaš on theSynchronistic King List[i 3] which gives his Babylonian counterpart asmDIŠ+U-EN (reading unknown), an unidentified person inserted between the reigns of Gulkišar and his son Pešgaldarameš of theSealand Dynasty.
He was succeeded by Bazaya, son of Belu-bani.
