Hadad-yith'i was a ruler of Guzana, the Aramaean kingdom of Bit-Bahiani in north-eastern Syria, in the 9th century BCE. He is known from a life-size basalt statue found at Tell Fekheriye in 1979, which carries a dedication in both Assyrian Akkadian, calling him governor, and Aramaic, calling him king. It is one of the oldest substantial Aramaic inscriptions.
