Tashlultum 
Summary
Tashlultum (fl. ca. late 24th-early 23rd centuries BCE) was a wife of King Sargon of Akkad. Her name is known to archaeology only from a single shard of an alabaster vase or bowl with an inscription indicating it was dedicated to the temple by her steward.[1]

|---|---|
| Spouse | Sargon of Akkad |
| Children | Enheduanna Rimush Manishtushu Shu-Enlil Ilaba'is-takal |
| Relatives | Naram-Sin of Akkad (grandson) Shar-Kali-Sharri (great-grandson) |
From this, it has been assumed (for lack of any conflicting information) that she was queen of Akkad and the mother of Sargon's children Enheduanna, Rimush, Manishtushu, Shu-Enlil and Ilaba'is-takal.
