Jushur (cuneiform: 𒄑𒃡 ĜIŠ.UR₃; Sumerian: Ĝušur) appears as a king of Kish in the Sumerian king list, a literary composition created in Mesopotamia at the beginning of the second millennium BC. He is either the first king on the list to be mentioned, or the first king after a flood, depending on the version of the SKL. According to the list, Jushur reigned for 1200 years.^[1] Jushur does not appear in Early Dynastic inscriptions. His historicity, like that of many other kings of the earlier parts of the Sumerian King List, is considered unlikely.^[2]

Ĝušur has also been transliterated in the literature as Jushur, Jucur, Gushur, Ngushur, and Gishur. An early reading of the cuneiform was Gaur.
