Tašmišu (Tashmishu) was a Hurrian god. He was regarded as a brother of Teshub, and it is assumed he had a warlike character.
==Character== Volkert Haas proposed that Tašmišu's name was derived from the Hurrian word tašmi, which he translates as strong. The suffix -šu is also known from the name of one Teshub's bulls, Šerišu, and various Hurrian personal names, such as Anniwašu or Ekammešu.
