Mesh-He (died c. 2552 BC), described as "the smith", is the 10th lugal of the first dynasty of Uruk.[1] He ruled in modern-day Iraq. Little is known about Mesh-he.

The Sumerian King List puts him after En-Nun-Tarah-Ana and assigns 36 years of reign, it is believed he died by the year 2552 BC. He was followed by Melem-ana.

His historicity, and that of his successors, however, is not completely established.
