Iter-pisha, inscribed in cuneiform as i-te-er-pi/pi4-Ε‘a and meaning "Her command is surpassing", (died c. 1829 BC) was the 12th king of Isin during the Old Babylonian period. The Sumerian King List tells us that "the divine Iter-pisha ruled for 4 years." The Ur-Isin King List which was written in the 4th year of the reign of Damiq-ilishu gives a reign of just 3 years. His relationships with his predecessor and successor are uncertain and his reign falls during a period of general decline in the fortunes of the dynasty.
