Menkheperreseneb II was a High Priest of Amun, Superintendent of the Gold and silver treasuries, and Chief of the Overseers of Craftsmen. He served at the time of Thutmose III and may have been buried in TT112.

Menkheperreseneb II was a son of the charioteer of His Majesty Hepu and the King's Nurse Taiunet.[1] Several funerary cones are in the collection of University College, London. [2][3][4][5][6][7]

Items of the High Priest(s) Menkheperre-soneb at the Metropolitan Museum include several funerary cones, a vase inscribed with his names from Saqqara, and a scarab on which he is referred to by the title “Overseer of the Crafts of Amun.”[8]

Dorman has argued that there are two HPA by the name of Menkheperre-seneb. A discussion of the identification and dating of the two HPA can be found in Thutmose III: A New Biography, by O’Conner and Cline.[9]
