Shalmaneser I (שַׁלְמַנְאֶסֶר, shalman'eser). Ruler of Assyria (ca. 1274–1245 bc) during the Middle Assyrian period. He was the son of Adad-nirari I (r. ca. 1308–1275 bc) and the father of Tukulti-Ninurta I (r. ca. 1244–1208 bc).

Shalmaneser I built palaces at Asshur and Nineveh, built up Calah (Gen 10:11–12) ca. 1250 bc, and made Calah the capital of Assyria. He conducted significant expansionary military campaigns against Urartu and Mitanni. He also began the Assyrian practice of deporting conquered peoples, a policy that was still in effect 500 years later when Assyria conquered the northern kingdom of Israel.
