thumb|Foundation tablet for the temple of Nane (goddess)|Nanaia, built by Kudur-Mabuk and his son [[Rim-Sin I, rulers of Larsa. c. 1820 BC. Louvre Museum.]] Kudur-Mabuk ; (ku-du-ur-ma-bu-uk) (19th century BC) was a high official in the ancient Near East city-state of Larsa. He first comes to light in the reign of Sin-Iddinam (c. 1849-1843 BC), when he was in Mashkan-shapir, in the Emutbal province of Larsa (annexed by earlier ruler Zabaia) which was in the northern part of the kingdom of Larsa and is not mentioned after the 8th year of Rim-Sin I and presumed to have died at that point. His sons Warad-Sin (c. 1834-1823 BC) and Rim-Sin I (c. 1822-1763 BC) were kings of Larsa. Late in the reign of Warad-Sin he became governor of Emutbal. Though never a ruler he wielded much power in the region with titles like "Father of the Amorite land" (ad.da.kur.mar.tu) and "Father of Emutbala" (ad.da-e-mu-ut-ba-la). He was responsible for the restoration and rebuilding of a number of prominent buildings including the Eeškite shrine for Nanna, the Egabura for Ningubalag, Ekuga for Nergal, Ekituššatenbi for Zababa, and Etilmun for Inana as well as the Nanna-ḫul canal. He also led a number of military campaigns for Larsa, especially during the reign of Rim-Sin I. He restored Maškān-šāpir and Kār-Šamaš to Larsa and have smitten the army of Kazallu and Mutiabal in Larsa (and) Emutbala’ and to have "seized Kazallu, torn down its wall, (and) made it submit".

Maškān-šāpir was led by Ṣillī-Ištar who Kudur-Maduk called "Enemy of Larsa, evil-doer against Emutbala". A stele, no lost but known from an inscription copy, whosed Kudur-Mabuk smiting Ṣillī-Ištar. There was a Dur-Kudur-Mabuk, "Fortress of Kudur-Mabuk", in the kingdom of Larsa.
