Ankhesenpepi IV (fl. c. 2250 BC) was an ancient Egyptian queen, a wife of King Pepi II of the Sixth Dynasty. She was the mother of the crown prince Neferkare.[1] Pepi II also had several other wives.

Titles

Her titles were: King's Mother of Ankh-djed-Neferkare (mwt-niswt-‘nkh-djd-nfr-k3-r’), Mother of the Dual King (mwt-niswt-biti), King’s Wife of Men-ankh-Neferkare (ḥmt-niswt-mn-‘nḫ-nfr-k3-r’), King's Wife, his beloved (ḥmt-niswt mryt.f), This God's Daughter (z3t-nṯr-tw), Foster Child of Wadjet (sḏtit-w3ḏt).[2]

Tomb

Ankhesenpepi IV was buried in Saqqara.[3] They must have lacked the resources needed for a burial since she did not have a pyramid built for her. Her sarcophagus, which was made of reused stone, was found in a storeroom belonging to the mortuary temple of Queen Iput II.[4]
