Amurru was an Amorite kingdom during the 14th–12th centuries BC in a region spanning present-day western and north-western Syria and northern Lebanon

The first documented leader of Amurru was Abdi-Ashirta, under whose leadership Amurru was part of the Egyptian empire. His son Aziru made contact with the Hittite king Suppiluliuma I, and eventually defected to the Hittites.

The Amurru kingdom was destroyed by the Sea Peoples around 1200 B.C.
