En-hegal, also Enhengal (Sumerian: , ; ), was possibly an ancient ruler of the Sumerian city-state of Lagash. Only one inscription mentioning him is known, the "Tablet of En-hegal", describing a business transaction. If indeed a king of Lagash, it is estimated he would have ruled around 2570 BC."The inscription by an ensi called Enhegal dates from the Early Dynastic period IH, around 2570 BC." in
The tablet with his name describes a business transaction, in which a possible King En-hegal buys land. He seems to have purchased about 1,000 hectares of land. A tentative translation of the tablet was published by George Barton.
