Artashumara[1] (Mitanni Aryan: Artasmara;[2][3] Akkadian: Artašumara[4]) was a ruler who briefly succeeded his father Shuttarna II as the king of Mitanni in the fourteenth century BC. He was a brother of Tushratta and Artatama II. He was later assassinated by a pro-Hittite group led by Tuhi, who declared himself as a regent after placing Tushratta on the throne.[5] Tuhi was later executed by Tushratta.
