Satuni, or Sutuni (Akkadian: 𒊓𒌅𒉌: Sa-tu-ni; fl. c. 2270 BC), was a chief or prince of the tribal kingdom of Lullubi.
Satuni was defeated by Sargon's grandson Naram Sin, a defeat which is mentioned in the Victory Stele of Naram-Sin:
"Naram-Sin the powerful . . . . Sidur and Sutuni, princes of the Lulubi, gathered together and they made war against me."
