Mashkan-shapir (Maškan-šāpir) (modern Tell Abu Duwari, Al Qadisyah Governorate, Iraq) was an ancient tell roughly north of Nippur and around southeast of Baghdad. The city god of Mashkan-shapir was Nergal and a temple named Meslam dedicated to him was built there. It is about 20 kilometers south of ancient Malgium and about 30 kilometers from ancient Larsa. The remnants of a large watercourse, thought to be an ancient bed of the Tigris or Euphrates, pass close to the city.
