Pabilgagaltuku, also Pabilgeshgaltuku (𒉺𒉈𒅍𒃲𒌇, pa.bil2.ĝeš-gal-tuku)[1] was Governor (ensi) of Umma, a city-state in Sumer, circa 2450 BCE. He was captured by Ur-Nanshe of Lagash.[2] His successor was Ush, king of Umma.[3]

Pabilgagaltuku is known from an inscription of Ur-Nanshe, in which Ur-Nanshe claims that he defeated Umma and captured Pabilgagaltuku:

pabilgax (pa.bil2.ĝeš)-gal-tuku ensi2 umma(geš.kušu2)ki mu-dab5
“He seized Pabilgagaltuku, the governor of Umma.”

— Inscription of Ur-Nanshe.[1]

Pabilgagaltuku may also be mentioned in the Stele of Vultures, as having been vanquished in the past by Ur-Nanshe.[1]
