Kara-hardash (Kara-ḫardaš), also rendered Kadashman-Harbe and possibly Karaindash, was a king of Babylon.

[2] In the Synchronistic History, his name is spelled both Karahardash and Karaindash, perhaps due to different phonetic readings.

[3] Another ancient source, the Chronicle P, gives a biography of the life of Muballitat-Sherua's son that is almost identical to the Synchronistic History's, but records that his name was Kadashman-Harbe, and that his father was Karaindash.

During his short reign, he went to war against the Suteans, and was also able to carry off a number of public works, including the digging of wells and building of a fortress.

[6][7] His Assyrian grandfather, Ashur-uballit I, suppressed the rebellion, deposed the usurper, and appointed a certain Kurigalzu as king.
