Neferkamin (diedc. 2188 BC) may have been anEighth Dynastyking ofancient Egypt during theFirst Intermediate Period.
His throne name "Sneferka" is only attested on theAbydos King List (n. 47) although it is possible that here the name is mistyped, and the O34 hieroglyph ("s") in fact is a R22 ("min"), hence "Neferkamin".[1] The correct reading of this king's name is provided, along with the name ofNikare, on agold plaque now in theBritish Museum; however, it has been suggested that this object could be aforgery.[2]
Neferkamin is absent from theTurin 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]
