Erishum I was the king of Assyria between 1906 BC to 1867 BC.^[1] He was the son of the previous Assyrian king, Ilushuma.^[2] He built a temple for the deity Assur. The building was subsequently ruined, but was later restored by Shamshi-Adad I.

Erishum I repaired temples to other deities in the capital of Assur, and continued the trade policies of his father.^[3] It was during Erishum I reign that Babylon was founded as an independent state by Sumuabum, an Amorite chieftain in 1894 BC.^[4]
