Kara-hardash (Kara-ḫardaš), also rendered Kadashman-Harbe and possibly Karaindash, was a king of Babylon. He became king of Babylon around 1333 BC. He was the son of the Assyrian princess Muballitat-Sherua and the Babylonian king who preceded him. His rule was short, as shortly after his appointment as king, he was killed in an anti-Assyrian revolt. His death was avenged by his grandfather, the Middle Assyrian Empire ruler Ashur-uballit I. After suppressing the revolt and removing the usurper appointed by the Kassites, they appointed Kurigalzu II as king. The latter's connection to the Assyrians is unclear. It is not excluded that he was Kara-hardash's son.
