Senewosret-Ankh (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.
His spouse was Lady of the House, Henutsen .[1] His daughter by Henutsen was Sat-Amun .[2] His mother was Lady of the House, teti-wadj.ti .[3] He had three brothers, the reporter Senusret-Seneb/Pantjeny,[4] Iuseneb,[5] and Ameny-Seneb.[6]
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.
