Seheqenre Sankhptahi was a pharaoh of the late 13th Dynasty, possibly the fifty-fourth[1] or fifty-fifth[2] king of this dynasty. He most likely reigned for a short period over the Memphite region during the mid-17th century BC, some time between 1663 BC and 1649 BC.[2]
A stele of unknown provenance, although probably Memphite in origin,[1] and dated on stylistic grounds to the Second Intermediate Period presents a list of members of a royal family and gives the king's son name as [?]-ptḥ-i. If this prince is the future pharaoh Seheqenre Sankhptahi as Ryholt proposes, then pharaoh Sekhemkare II is his father and Minemsaes and Sit[...] are his sisters.[2] The stele is housed in the Egyptian Museum (CG20600).
