En-hegal, also Enhengal (Sumerian: 𒂗𒃶𒅅, en-ḫe₂-ŋal₂), was possibly an ancient ruler of the Sumerian city-state of Lagash.[1] Only one inscription mentioning him is known, the "Tablet of En-hegal", describing a business transaction.[2][3] If indeed a king of Lagash, it is estimated he would have ruled circa 2570 BCE.[4][5]
The tablet with his name describes a business transaction, in which a possible King En-hegal buys land.George A. Barton.[2]
