Shullat is a minor god in Babylonian and Akkadian mythology.

The god was an attendant of the sun god Shamash.

His function as an attendant was in the capacity of personal security of the greater god Adad, as described and shown tablet 11 lines 98-100 of the Epic of Gilgamesh (together with Ḫanish fulfilling a dual function in that capacity).[1]
