Senewosret-Ankh {s-n-wsrt-ꜥnḫ/snfrw} (also Senusret-Ankh; Senwosret-Ankh) was an ancient Egyptian vizier of the Middle Kingdom, dating to the end of the Twelfth or to the beginning of the Thirteenth Dynasty.

Family

His spouse was Lady of the House {nbt pr}, Henutsen {ḥnwt⸗sn}. His daughter by Henutsen was Sat-Amun {sꜣt-jmn}. His mother was Lady of the House {nbt pr}, teti-wadj.ti {ttj-wꜣḏ.tj}. He had three brothers, the reporter Senusret-Seneb/Pantjeny, Iuseneb, and Ameny-Seneb.

Attestations

He is known from a number of sources making it possible to reconstruct his career. He started as 'personal scribe of the king's document and was appointed from there to the overseer of fields. From this position he was most likely appointed to the position of the vizier. As vizier he is known from a statue found at Ugarit. The statue shows him and his wife Henutsen as well as his daughter Zatamun. The statue also mentioned that to him was given the gold of praise in front of all courtiers. It remains unknown for what reason he received that honour.

A limestone stela now in Florence is dedicated to Senewosret-Ankh by his Steward {jmj-rꜣ pr} Keki, one of the administrators of Senewosret-Ankh's estates. Senusret-Ankh {s-n-wsrt-ꜥnḫ} holds the title Overseer of the City {jmj-rꜣ njwt} and Vizier {ṯꜣtj}. The stela may display signs of a date in the early 13th Dynasty. The stela belongs to a Memphis-Faiyum workshop identified as "Marée, The Second Intermediate Period, 253 n. 93".
