This paper considers (left) near-rings which satisfy the left self distributive (LSD) identity: abc = abac. This is exactly the class of near-rings for which each left multiplication mapping, τa: x → ax, is a near-ring endomorphism. Simple and subdirectly irreducible ones are classified and semidirect sum decompositions into reduced and nilpotent pieces are given. LSD near-rings with restrictive conditions on nilpotent elements or annihilating sets are considered. Type 1 prime (semiprime) ideals in an LSD near-ring are completely prime (semiprime). Further results on prime and maximal ideals are given. Numerous examples are given to illuminate the theory and to illustrate its limitations. Some analogous theory for right self distributive near-rings is given (those satisfying the identity: abc = acbc).
