عمرو بن هند اللخمي صاحب الحيرة، من بني لخم، ولقبه «مضرط الحجارة». 2

يذكر ابن الأثير أن اللقب لشدة ملكه وقوة سياسته. وأمه هند بنت الحارث بن عمرو المقصور، عمة الشاعر امرئ القيس. 2

ولّاه المنذر على بكر وتغلب في غزوة بني آكل المرار، وكان حريصاً على إذلال أشراف العرب؛ حتى مكر بأم عمرو بن كلثوم، ليلى بنت مهلهل، فثار ابن كلثوم إلى سيفه فقتله في السرادق. 3
