The following is a list of the Kings of Babylon, a major city of ancient Mesopotamia, in modern Iraq.

First Dynasty of Babylon

This uses the traditional Middle Chronology, although there is now reason to believe it may be too early by as much as a century.

Early Kassite Monarchs

These rulers did not rule Babylon itself, but their numbering scheme was continued by later Kassite Kings of Babylon, and so they are listed here.

Gandash fl. c.1730 BC
Agum I
Kashtiliash I
Ushshi
Abirattash
Kashtiliash II
Urzigurumash
Harbashihu
Tiptakzi

Sealand Dynasty (Dynasty II of Babylon)

This dynasty also did not actually rule Babylon, but rather the Sumerian regions south of it. Nevertheless, it is traditionally numbered the Second Dynasty of Babylon, and so is listed here.

Iluma-ilum fl. c.1732 BC
Itti-ili-nibi
Damiq-ilishu
Ishkibal
Shushushi
Gulkishar
Peshgaldaramash
Adarakalamma
Ekurduanna
Melamkurkukka
[1 unnamed king between Gulkishar and Ea-gamil(?)]
Ea-gamil fl. c. 1460 BC

Kassite Dynasty (Third Dynasty of Babylon)

The chronology followed here is the higher chronology found in Von Beckerath's Chronologie des pharaonischen Ägypten. Another commonly used chronology generally gives dates of approximately 10 to 20 years earlier for each monarch, but this does not synchronize so well with the most commonly used chronology for the Egyptian New Kingdom.
