Purushanda (also variously Puruskhanda, Purushhattum, Purushhatum or Burushattum) was an Anatolian kingdom of the early second millennium prior to the common era. It was conquered by the Hittites circa 1700 BC. The name disappears from history soon thereafter.

Etymology

The name is written as mat Purushattim in the oldest Assyrian texts, and it has been speculated that the root Purus- is of Indo-European (i.e. Luwian language)
