Akurgal (, "Descendant of the Great Mountain" in Sumerian; ) was the second king (Ensi) of the first dynasty of Lagash. His relatively short reign took place in the first part of the 25th century BCE, during the period of the archaic dynasties. He succeeded his father, Ur-Nanshe, founder of the dynasty, and was replaced by his son Eannatum.
Very little is known about his reign: only six inscriptions mention it. One of them reports that he built the Antasura of Ningirsu.
