Merysekhmet, also written Merysakhmet (mrỉỉ-sḫm.t; "Beloved of Sekhmet"[1]) was a vizier of Ancient Egypt. He served during the reign of Merenptah.[2]
Merysekhmet is mentioned in Papyrus Bologna 1086, which is a letter from the scribe of the offering table Bakenamun to his father Ramose who was a prophet of the temple of Thoth in Memphis. The letter is in regard to the whereabouts of a Syrian slave named Nekedy. Bakenamun mentions meeting with vizier Merysekhmet and asking if Nekedy was with him, and being told no.[3] In the letter, which is exhibited at the Archeological Civic Museum of Bologna, is mentioned a Year 3[4] (of Merenptah) so is likely that Merysekhmet was in charge around this date.
