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.[1] The Horus name is known only from fragmentary inscriptions on a stray block in Meroë's northern cemetery.[2] No burial site has been identified for this king.[1][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]
