The Hurrians were a people of the Ancient Near East inhabiting what is now northern Syria and southeastern Turkey. They spoke a language unrelated to neighboring Semitic or Indo-European languages.

Hurrian speakers formed the majority population of the kingdom of the Mitanni, though they appear to have been governed by a class of foreign nobility.
