Tar...dun...ni (Cuneiform: , tar...dun...ni, or Tar…ni, …birini, …irpirin) son of Ikki (also reads Ikkibshakhmat, or Ikkipshakhmat; ), was a king, prince, ruler, or high-ranking official of the Zagros mountains area. Although "Tardunni" is the way his name has been traditionally deciphered, he may have been called differently: it has been proposed that he was rather called Lisir Pirini, son of Ikkid Samad.
He is mainly known from a rock relief discovered in the valley of the Diyala river, in the Belula Pass, near the Lake of Darbandikhan, on the Horen Shekhan mountain (Kurdish: هۆرێن و شێخان; Arabic هورين- شيخان), in the extreme northeast of Iraq, near the border with Iran.
