thumb|The Lament for Ur, commemorating the fall of Ur to the Elamites. [[Louvre Museum.]] Kindattu (, ki-in-da-tu, also Kindadu; died 2001 BC) was the 6th king of the Shimashki Dynasty, in Elam (in present-day southwest Iran), at the time of the third dynasty of Ur in ancient Lower Mesopotamia.
He is mentioned in the Shilhak-Inshushinak list of kings who did work on the Inshushinak temple in Susa. Apparently, Kindattu invaded and conquered Ur c. 2004 BC, and captured Ibbi-Sin, the last of the third dynasty of Ur, and made him a prisoner. The Elamites sacked Ur and settled there, but then were defeated by Ishbi-Erra, the first king of the Isin dynasty in his year 16, and later expelled from Mesopotamia.
