Djedkhonsuefankh was a High Priest of Amun in Thebes believed to have been in office from 1046–1045 BC.
==High Priesthood== It is often assumed that he was a son of Pinedjem I who succeeded his brother Masaherta during a time of great turmoil in the city of Thebes. Jürgen von Beckerath has even suggested that it is possible that he died a violent death, accounting for his very short reign. Kenneth Kitchen considered this possibility as well, but also stated that "this may be an over-dramatic interpretation of his brief rule".
