Semenre, also Smenre[1] or Semenenre,[3] is a poorly attested Theban pharaoh during the Second Intermediate Period of Egypt who succeeded the equally obscure Nebiriau II.[3][4] He reigned from 1601 to 1600 BC (Kim Ryholt)[4] or ca. 1580 BC (Detlef Franke) and belonged to the 16th Dynasty (Ryholt)[4] or the 17th Dynasty[1] (Franke).
For this ruler only the Throne name is known, carved on a tin-bronze axe head of unknown provenance, now in the Petrie Museum, London (UC30079). He is possibly also listed on the Turin Canon (11.7).[1]
Semenre was succeeded by Seuserenre Bebiankh[3][4] who left behind more traces of building projects and mining activity in his reign than most kings of this dynasty with the exception of Djehuti.[5]
