《提格拉特皮莱塞尔后宫敕令》是中亚述国王提格拉特皮莱塞尔颁布的敕令。其主要内容包括禁止未经阉割的近侍和仆役进入后宫,禁止王室太监、近侍和仆役以及洒水工与后宫女眷近距离接触。这些敕令对宫廷各级人员的行为和活动作出了规定,对违犯规定的人亦有相应的惩罚,是研究中亚述时期的宫廷体系、官僚制度以及女性地位和古代法律史的重要文献资料。

'Tiglath-pileser Harem Edicts', which were issued by Middle Assyrian king Tiglath-pileser, were primarily concerned with forbidding royal court attendants and servants, who were uncastrated, from entering into palace, and prohibiting royal eunuchs, court attendants and servants as well as water sprinklers from interacting with palace women. These edicts made rules about activities and behavior of the palace personnel, inflicted punishment for those who breached these rules. These documents aren't only important materials for the study of the Middle Assyrian palatial system, its bureaucracy and its laws, but also show us the royal women's role at that time.
