نور-مِر Nûr-Mêr، وأيضاً نيوار-مِر (Niwâr-Mêr ؛ 𒉌𒉿𒅈𒈨𒅕ni-wa-ar-me-er; died ح. 2148 BC)[1] was a ruler of the city of Mari, one of the military governors known as Shakkanakku in northern Mesopotamia, in the later period of Akkad.[2] According to the dynastic lists, he ruled for 5 years, after his father Ishma-Dagan, and was the fourth Shakkanakku ruler.[3] Nûr-Mêr was probably contemporary with the Akkadian rulers Naram-Sin or Shar-Kali-Sharri.[4] He was succeeded by his brother Ishtup-Ilum as Shakkanakku of Mari.[3]
He is also known from four identical inscriptions on bronze votive tablets:[5]
Nur-Mer bronze votive plate inscription (reconstitution with standard Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform).[5][6]
The goddess mentioned might have been the Syrian Shalash, the wife of Dagan, rather than Mesopotamian Ninhursag,[7] as her name was commonly written logographically as dNIN.HUR.SAG.GA in Mari in the Old Babylonian period.[8]
