Menrenre Antyemsaf II was possibly briefly Pharaoh of Egypt. He is only mentioned in king lists, with no other evidence. His nomen was formerly read as Antyemsaf, a reading now known to be incorrect.
The Turin King list says that Merenre reigned for only a year, after succeeding his father Pepi II. He was succeeded by his sister-wife Nitocris or perhaps by a male king named Netjerkare whose identity was conflated with Nitocris.
