Ešnunna oder Eschnunna (das heutige Tell Asmar) war ein sumerischer Stadtstaat. Es war die zentrale Stadt an der unteren Diyala in Sumer und hatte schon im 3. Jahrtausend v. Chr. Handelsbeziehungen zum damals noch nicht entwickelten Gebiet Elam. Der sumerische Einfluss dieser Stadt auf Elam war relativ bedeutend, da dort zeitweilig auch eine Unterwerfung unter die sumerische Herrschaft erwogen wurde. Zu dieser Unterwerfung kam es jedoch nicht. Eine weitere aus Inschriften bekannte Bezeichnung für die Stadt und ihr Umland ist „Land Tupliaš“ beziehungsweise Ašnunnak.
