Ishqi-Mari or Ishgi-Mari ( iš11-gi4-ma-rí; died 2330 BC), previously read Lamgi-Mari, was a King of the second Mariote kingdom. He is one of three Mari kings known from archaeology, Ikun-Shamash probably being the oldest one. The third king is Iku-Shamagan, also known from an inscribed statue.
In their inscriptions, these Mari kings used a dialect of the Akkadian language, whereas their Sumerian contemporaries to the south used the Sumerian language.
