Lugalanda, also Lugal-anda (Sumerian: 𒈗𒀭𒁕) was a Sumerian king of Lagash during the 24th century BC. He was the son of the high priest of Lagash, who appointed him as king. In ancient literature, he is notorious for being corrupt.

Reign

At this time the high priests of Lagash were very influential and either occupied the throne or decided who should. Priests, especially the high priests, remained very influential during Lugalanda's reign.

Lugalanda was married to Baranamtarra, the daughter of a great landowner who had commercial connections with the queen of Adab.

Corruption

All documents mentioning the reign of Lugalanda describe him as a wealthy and corrupt king. They state his reign was a time of great corruption and injustice against the weak. Inscriptions state that the king confiscated approximately 650 Morgen (about 1600 acres) of land.

An artifact detailing his reign reads:

The sealings of Lugal-anda and his wife—Break in traditions inaugurated by Urukagina—Causes of an increase in officialdom and oppression—The privileges of the city-god usurped by the patesi and his palace—Tax-gatherers and inspectors "down to the sea"—Misappropriation of sacred lands and temple-property, and corruption of the priesthood.

The writing purports that Lugalanda appointed officials unjustly, widely overtaxed civilians and misused properties all for the sake of his personal gain.

Overthrow

After a reign of 6 years and 1 month, Lugalanda was overthrown by Urukagina whom proceeded to correct corruption in government.
