Yakmesi () was according to the Assyrian King List (AKL) the 22nd Assyrian monarch, ruling in Assyria's early period. Yakmesi is listed in the AKL as the sixth of ten 'kings whose fathers are known.' Unlike the rest of the list, this section is written in reverse orderâÂÂstarting with 'Aminu' and ending with 'Apiashal,' described as 'altogether ten kings who are ancestors""âÂÂand has often been interpreted as the list of ancestors of the Amorite à  amà ¡i-Adad I (fl. c. 1809 BC) who had conquered the city-state of Aà ¡à ¡ur. The AKL also states that Yakmesi had been both the son and successor of Ilu-Mer. Additionally, the AKL states that Yakmesi had been both the predecessor and father of Yakmeni.
