Seankhenre Mentuhotepi was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh during the fragmented Second Intermediate Period. According to egyptologists Kim Ryholt and Darrell Baker, he was the fifth king of the 16th Dynasty reigning over the Theban region in Upper Egypt.[2] Alternatively, Jürgen von Beckerath sees him as the fifth king of the 17th Dynasty.[4][5]
