Sîn-gāmil (inscribed in Akkadian: 𒀭𒂗𒍪𒂵𒈪𒅋: DEN.ZU-kà-mi-il; died c. 1824 BC)[4] was an Amorite king of Uruk, at the time of the Isin-Larsa period. He was the son of Sin-iribam. Ilum-gamil, his brother, may have succeeded him.[5]

Sîn-gāmil is also known from one of this dedication tablets.[1]

His son was Salim-palih-Marduk, and, according to their seals, their deities were Marduk and Shamash.[2][4]

The dynasty of the Kings of Uruk in the early 2nd millennium BC was composed of the following rulers in approximate chronological order: Alila-hadum, Sumu-binasa, Naram-Sin, Sîn-kāšid, Sin-iribam, Sin-gamil, Ilum-gamil, An-am, Irdanene, Rîm-Anum, and Nabi-ilishu.[3]

This ruler is not to be confused with the Sîn-gamil, son of Sin-semi, who ruled the city of Diniktum contemporary with Zimri-Lim of Mari.[6]
