Larak was an ancient Iraqi city mentioned on the Sumerian King List (SKL) said to have been the third among the five cities to hold the kingship over Sumer during the antediluvian era. En-sipad-zid-ana ((r. c. 3000 – c. 2800) BCE) is the only king of Larak mentioned on the SKL. Its tutelary deity was Pabilsag (god of the trees). The exact location of Larak is uncertain; however, it is believed that the city was located somewhere to the east of Kish in the Isin-Nippur environs. It is estimated that Larak may have been inhabited by anywhere from 10,000—20,000 citizens since the time of Old Uruk up to the Jemdet Nasr and even Early Dynastic I—III periods (c. 3700 BCE); however, it remains a lost city.
