Aššur-rēša-iši I, inscribed maš-šur-SAG-i-ši (meaning "Aššur has lifted my head") ruled 1132–1115 BC, son of Mutakkil-Nusku, was a king of the Middle Assyrian Empire, and the 86th ruler to appear on the Assyrian King List and ruled for 18 years. The Synchronistic King List and its fragmentary copies give him as a contemporary of the Babylonian kings Ninurta-nādin-šumi, Nebuchadnezzar I and Enlil-nādin-apli, although the last of these is unlikely per the commonly accepted chronology.
