Shar-Kali-Sharri (Akk. = "King of all Kings") was a king of the Akkadian Empire. He was the son of Naram-sin and reigned for 25 years, around ca. 2100 BC. After his reign, there seems to have been a short period of chaos: The list of kings states:

Then who was king? Who was the king? Igigi, Imi, Nanum, Ilulu: four of them ruled for only 3 years

After this, king Dudu ascended, who reigned for 21 years.
