Enmebaragesi (Me-Baragesi, En-Men-Barage-Si, Enmebaragisi), according to the Sumerian king list, was a king of Kish who subdued Elam and reigned 900 years, but was captured single-handedly by Dumuzid "the fisherman" of Uruk, predecessor of Gilgamesh.

He is of particular interest because he is the first name on the king list who can be proven to have existed through archaeology. For that matter, he is the first person in world history who can be proven archaeologically. These remains consist of two alabaster vase fragments with inscriptions about him found at Nippur.

He is also mentioned in a section of the Epic of Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh and Aga of Kish, as the father of Aga who laid siege to Uruk. The king list agrees in making him the father of Aga, last of the dynasty at Kish, for whom inscriptions have also been found. Hence the fragments authenticating their existence have generally been supposed as also authenticating Gilgamesh as a historical king of Uruk, not merely a mythological figure.
