Immeya was a king of Ebla, in modern Syria, reigning around 1750–1725 BCE.: 217–8 

Reign

Immeya was most likely buried in the so-called "Tomb of the Lord of the Goats", in the royal necropolis of the western palace at Ebla,: 301–4  as suggested by a silver cup found here, bearing an inscription in his name.: 217–8  Assuming that, it is likely that the funerary equipment found in the tomb belonged to Immeya too. This included some objects in carved hippopotamus ivory,: 301–4  the remains of a throne decorated with bronze goat heads,: 338  and especially an ancient Egyptian ceremonial mace made of gold, silver and ivory, a gift from the 13th Dynasty pharaoh Hotepibre, who was a contemporary of Immeya.: 217–8 : 301–4 

Immeya also appears as the sender of a letter to a ruler, which was also found at Ebla.: 217–8  One of his successors—not necessarily the direct one—was a certain king Hammu, whose full name was probably Hammurabi.: 217–8 

As with other rulers of the third kingdom of Ebla, Immeya's name is Amorite; furthermore, it seems that "Immeya" was a hypocorism.: 217–8
