Ankhkherednefer, formerly known as Ankhrenepnefer or Ankhsherynefer, was a high-ranking Ancient Egyptian official whose reputation is built on a block statue unearthed in the Tell el-Maskhuta archaeological site, possibly the ancient city of Pithom. This imposing red granite statue now resides at the British Museum, where it has been assigned the accession number BM 1007. As an important figure serving under King Osorkon II, whose name is prominently displayed on the statue, Ankhkherednefer held a range of prestigious titles, including inspector of the palace; good recorder of the house of Atum; lord of the and; and highest lieutenant of the king.
