Sagisu (also Sagishu) was a king (
Malikum) of the first
Eblaite kingdom ruling c. 2680 BC.
The king's name is translated as "DN has killed".
Eblaites practiced the worship of deceased kings; the cult of Sagisu was maintained in Ebla and was of importance during the enthronement of new kings. Offerings were presented to Sagisu during the coronation festivals of kings
Irkab-Damu and
Isar-Damu; this prove the continuity of the royal family of Ebla.
