Ashur-nadin-ahhe I (Aššur-nādin-aḫḫē I)[3] was a king of Assyria in the 15th century BC. He took power after the death of his father, Ashur-rabi I. During his reign, Assyria became a sporadic vassal of Mitanni. He was overthrown by his brother Enlil-Nasir II.[4]
A letter survives from him congratulating Egyptian Pharaoh Thutmose III on his victories in Palestine and Syria.[5]
