Humbannikaš II (died 652 BCE) was a king of Elam. In 652 BCE, he joined Šamaššumaukin's secret alliance with Egypt, Syria, and the Arab, Aramean and Chaldean tribes against Assyria. During the following war between Assyria and Babylonia, Aššurbāniapli organized a coup against Humbannikaš in order to prevent him from supporting Babylonia.[1]
