Shimut-wartash I was an Elamite king, and a member of the Sukkalmah dynasty, the ruling house of Elam during the middle Bronze Age.

Reign

Shimut-wartash was the oldest son of Shirukduh, his predecessor. He was one of the co-regents, or Sukkals of Elam, along with his other brothers, Siwe-Palar-Khuppak and Kuduzulush I.

A tablet found in Mari suggests that Shimut-wartash was captured in the midst of battle, and killed.
