Hallutaš-Inšušinak (Hallutasch-Inschuschinak) was an Elamite king who lived sometime in the time of 647 BC. BC to 539 BC Ruled.

It has long been assumed that Elam died after the Assyrians sacked Susa in 647 BC. Became an Assyrian province and then a province of the New Babylonian Empire , and lost its independence forever. However, new text finds show that during this period, before the arrival of the Persians, some rulers can be dated who ruled independently in Elam. They are named as builders of temples or even led their own campaigns.

Hallutaš-Inšušinak is one of these rulers. He is known from a series of bricks on which he notes the reconstruction of the temple of Inšušinak . A glazed object also bears his name. There he describes himself as the son of Huban-tahra and as the enlarger of the kingdom of Anshan and Susa .
