Ammī-ditāna was a king of Babylon who reigned 1683–1647 BC (according to the Middle Chronology; or 1675–1639 BC according to the Lower Middle Chronology). He was the son and successor of Abī-ešuḫ.
Year-names survive for the first 37 years of his reign, plus fragments for a few possible additional years. His reign was a largely peaceful one; he was primarily engaged in enriching and enlarging the temples, and a few other building projects, although in his 37th regnal year he recorded having destroyed the city wall of Der, built earlier by King Dāmiq-ilišu of Isin.
Ammī-ditāna was succeeded by his eldest son Ammī-ṣaduqa.
