E-iginimpa'e was ruler of Adab, circa 2500 BCE.

He is known from several inscriptions, most of them located in the Oriental Institute Museum, Chicago, with one tablet in the State Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg.[5][6] He was a contemporary of Lugal-zage-si as several land transactions are recorded between the two.[2]

One of his tablets reads, dedicated to goddess Digirmah or Ensimah (๐’€ญ๐’ˆค, equivalent of Martu) reads:[7]
