Sarlagab or Zarlagab (fl. Late 3rd millennium BCE[1][2][3]) was the 2nd Gutian ruler of the Gutian Dynasty of Sumer mentioned on the "Sumerian King List" (SKL) as possibly reigning for 6 years. Sarlagab may have been a contemporary of the Akkadian king Shar-kali-sharri, if he is the same Gutian king Sharlag whom Shar-kali-sharri captured according to one of his year-names.[4] Also according to the SKL: he was the successor of Inkishush. Shulme then succeeded Inkishush.
