Sekhemre Sankhtawy Neferhotep III Iykhernofret was the third or fourth ruler of the Theban16th Dynasty, reigning after Sobekhotep VIII according to Egyptologists Kim Ryholt and Darrell Baker.[1][2] He is assigned a reign of 1 year in the Turin Canon and is known primarily by a single stela from Thebes.[1] In an older study, Jürgen von Beckerath dated Neferhotep III to the end of the 13th Dynasty.[3]
