Alluwamna was a king of the Hittites (Middle Kingdom) in the 15th century BC. He might be a successor of Telipinu as his son-in-law,[4][5] after the reign of Tahurwaili.[1]
The wife of Alluwamna was called Harapšeki. Her father was Telipinu. The son of Alluwamna, who later became a king, was Hantili II.
Alluwamna's reign is attested by a seal (SBo I.86) named the Tabarna seal. As a son-in-law of Telepinu (married to his first-rank daughter Harapšeki), Alluwamna would have been first in line for the throne. However, Telepinu banished him and his wife to Malitashkur [5](see KUB 26:77), and so it is possible that he did not come to the throne right after Telepinu's death, but rather after the reign of Tahurwaili, first cousin of Telipinu[1] One text of Alluwamna records the granting of land to his son and likely successor Hantili II.[6]
