Enentarzi was governor of Lagash, circa 2400 BC.

Enentarzi (𒂗𒇷𒋻𒍣, en-en₃-tar-zid,[2] also 𒂗𒂊𒋻𒍣, en-e-tar-zi[3] was Ensi (governor) of Lagash.[4][5] He was originally a chief-priest of Lagash for the god Ningirsu.[5][6]

He succeed Enannatum II who only had a short reign and was the last representative of the house of Ur-Nanshe.[7][8] It seems that the power of Lagash waned at this point, and that other territories such as Umma ("Gishban") and Kish prevailed.[9]

Enentarzi probably ruled for at least 4 years.[6]

An inscription records that 600 Elamites came to plunder Lagash during the rule of Enentarzi, but that they were repelled.[10]

He was succeeded by another priest named Enlitarzi, and then his son Lugalanda.[6]
