'''Enlil-nādin-apli''', "Enlil (is) giver of an heir," ca. 1103–1100 BC, was the 5th king of the 2nd dynasty of [[Isin]], and the 4th dynasty of [[Babylon]]. He was the son and successor of [[Nebuchadnezzar I|Nabu-kudurri-usur]]<ref group=i>''King List C'', 5.</ref> and was toppled by a revolt led by his uncle, [[Marduk-nadin-ahhe|Marduk-nādin-aḫḫē]].

[[File:BM 102485.jpg|thumb|left|180px|Black limestone [[kudurru]] of the time of Enlil-nādin-apli,<ref group=i name=kudurru>Kudurru CBM 13, published as BE I/1 83.</ref> in the University Museum, Philadelphia.]]
There are few contemporary artifacts attesting to his brief rule. A [[Lorestān bronze]] dagger is inscribed with his name and title. A [[kudurru]]<ref group=i name=kudurru/> records the outcome of an inquiry instigated by the king in his 4th year into the ownership of a plot of land claimed by a temple estate. Ekarra-eqisha and Eanna-šuma-iddina, the governors of Bit-Sin-magir and Sealand respectively, were charged with the investigation which upheld a claim based on the actions of an earlier king Gulkišar who had “drawn for Nanse, his divine mistress, a land boundary.” It contains perhaps the earliest example of a ''Distanzangaben'' statement recording that 696 years had elapsed between Nabû-kudurrī-uṣur, his father, and [[Sealand Dynasty#Gulkišar|Gulkišar]], the 6th king of the 1st Dynasty of the Sealand, a contemporary of Samsu-ditāna.<ref>{{ cite journal | title = 15) On the origin of the goddess Ištar-of-the-Sealand, Ayyabītu | author = Odette Boivin | journal = Nouvelles Assyriologiques Brèves et Utilitaires (NABU) | year = 2016 | issue = 1 (Mars) | page = 25 }}</ref>

A second undated kudurru<ref group=i name=dark/> is reckoned to be from this period, that of Gula-eresh (pictured), because the same governor of Sealand, Eanna-šuma-iddina, also appears on it, this time granting 5 kur of land to his servant.<ref name=brinkman>{{ cite book | title = A political history of post-Kassite Babylonia, 1158-722 B.C. | author = J.

The ''Walker Chronicle''<ref group=i>''Walker Chronicle'', BM 27796, 19-21 (reconstructed).</ref> tells of his campaign against Assur and his subsequent overthrow, “Enlil-nādin-apli, son of Nabû-kudurrī]-uṣur, marched to Assur to conquer (it). [Marduk-nādin-aḫḫē, brother of N]abû-kudurrī-uṣur, and the nobles rebelled against him and; Enlil-nādin-apli returned to his land and his city.
