Enentarzi (, en-en₃-tar-zid, also , en-e-tar-zi; died 2384 BC) was Ensi (governor) of Lagash. He was originally a chief-priest of Lagash for the god Ningirsu.

He succeed Enannatum II who only had a short reign and was the last representative of the house of Ur-Nanshe. It seems that the power of Lagash waned at this point, and that other territories such as Umma ("Gishban") and Kish prevailed.
