Teushpa was an early 7th-century BC king of the Cimmerians but is also mentioned as king of the Umman-Manda according to King Esarhaddon's inscriptions. In 679 BC, he commanded the Cimmerians in battle against the Assyrians under Esarhaddon, but lost the battle.[1]

His name recalls that of his contemporary Teispes (Chishpish) of the Achaemenids, though they do not seem to be etymlogically related.[2]
