Sasi (Akkadian: Sāsî) or Sasija (Sāsīja) was a usurper in the Neo-Assyrian Empire who conspired to seize the throne from Esarhaddon in 671–670 BC. Little is known of his background but he was presumably descended from an earlier Assyrian king, perhaps Sargon II (r. 722–705 BC). Sasi was proclaimed king in Harran by a prophetess (the oracle of Nusku) and rapidly gained support throughout the empire before he was defeated and presumably killed in 670 BC. Esarhaddon had large numbers of magnates and officials who had supported Sasi executed.
