The Sumerian King List (abbreviated SKL) or Chronicle of the One Monarchy is an ancient literary composition written in Sumerian that was likely created and redacted to legitimize the claims to power of various city-states and kingdoms in southern Mesopotamia during the late third and early second millennium BC.

It contains a reference to the flood myth and mythological origins of Kingship, with the details of the later kings listed on the tablet having more realistic reigns than the excessively long ones of the earlier entries.
