Ashur-dan I (Aššur-dān I) was one of the longest-reigning Kings of Assyria, reigning for some 46 years according to the Assyrian King List. According to one of the more commonly used chronologies of the middle Assyrian period, he reigned from 1179 BC to 1133 BC. He succeeded his father, Ninurta-apil-Ekur, and was succeeded by his son, Ninurta-tukulti-Ashur. Beyond this, little is known of his long reign.
