Merenhor may have been an Eighth Dynasty king of ancient Egypt during the First Intermediate Period. His name is only attested on the Abydos King List (n. 46).[1][2] Merenhor is absent from the Turin canon as a large lacuna in this document affects most kings of the 7th/8th Dynasty.[3] No contemporary document or building with his name has been found.[4][5]
