Shesepankhenamen Setepenre is the Horus name of an otherwise unknown king of Kush, ruling from Meroë in the second half of the 3rd century BCE. His personal name is unknown.[2] The Horus name is known only from fragmentary inscriptions on a stray block in Meroë's northern cemetery.[1] No burial site has been identified for this king.[2][3]
He is conventionally placed in the chronology of Kushite rulers as the successor of Amantekha and the predecessor Arnekhamani, ruling Kush as a contemporary of Ptolemy III Euergetes in Egypt.[3]
