Igigi (fl. 2257 BCE) was a king of the Akkadian Empire. His rule began in 2257 BCE, and he fought for power in Akkad after the death of Shar-kali-sharri.
Igigi was also a term used to refer to the lesser gods (as opposed to the great gods, or Anunna). In Sumerian it means "Those who watch and see".
