Nûr-Mêr, also Niwâr-Mêr (𒉌𒉿𒅈𒈨𒅕 ni-wa-ar-me-er; died c. 2148 BC)[1] was a ruler of the city of Mari, one of the military governors known as Shakkanakku in northern Mesopotamia, in the later period of Akkad.

[2] According to the dynastic lists, he ruled for 5 years, after his father Ishma-Dagan, and was the fourth Shakkanakku ruler.

[3] He is also known from four identical inscriptions on bronze votive tablets:[5] 𒉌𒉿𒅈𒈨𒅕 𒄊𒀴 𒈠𒌷𒆠 𒂍 𒀭𒊩𒌆𒉺𒂅 𒅁𒉌 ni-wa-ar-me-er shagina mari-ki e ninhursag ib-ni

"Niwâr-Mêr, Shakkanakku of Mari, built the temple of the goddess Ninhursag"The goddess mentioned might have been the Syrian Shalash, the wife of Dagan, rather than Mesopotamian Ninhursag,[8] as her name was commonly written logographically as dNIN.HUR.SAG.GA in Mari in the Old Babylonian period.
