Ninšatapada (also romanized as Ninshatapada; active c. 1800 BCE) was a Mesopotamian princess from the Old Babylonian dynasty of Uruk. She is known from a letter addressed to Rim-Sîn I, in which she implores him to restore her to her former position as a high priestess of Meslamtaea. The letter was incorporated into the curriculum of Mesopotamian scribal schools.
