Khuenre (Khuenra) was a Prince of ancient Egypt of the 4th dynasty, named after the Sun god Ra.
He was a son of Pharaoh Menkaure and his sister, Queen Khamerernebty II. He was a grandson of Khafra and Khamerernebty I and great-grandson of Khufu, king who built the Great Pyramid of Giza.[1][2]
He was a secretary and sole companion of his father.[3]
He was the eldest son of his parents, but he was not Menkaure's successor. This was Shepseskaf.
Khuenre is buried in Menkaure's cemetery (MQ 1). He is depicted as a young boy standing in front of his seated mother on south wall.[4]
