E-iginimpa'e (Sumerian: π’‚π’…†π’‰π’‰Ίπ’Œ“π’Ί, e2-igi-nim-pa-e3; fl. c. 2400 BC) was a Sumerian ruler (ensi) of the Mesopotamian city of Adab. He may have succeeded another ensi known as Mug-si.

He is known from several inscriptions, most of them located in the Oriental Institute Museum, Chicago, with one tablet in the State Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg. He was a contemporary of Lugal-zage-si as several land transactions are recorded between the two.

One of his tablets reads, dedicated to goddess Digirmah or Ensimah (π’€­π’ˆ€, equivalent of Martu) reads:

π’€­π’ˆ€ π’‚π’…†π’‰π’‰Ίπ’Œ“π’Ί 𒃻𒑐𒋼𒋛 π’Œ“π’‰£π’†  π’‚π’ˆ€ π’ˆ¬π’ˆΎπ’†• π’Œ«π’‰π’† π’‚  𒋼𒁀𒋛
