Mesehti was an ancient Egyptian nomarch of the 13th nome of Upper Egypt ("the Upper Sycamore") around 2000 BCE, during the 11th Dynasty. He also was seal-bearer and overseer of the priests of Wepwawet.
==Tomb== Mesehti is well known for his funerary equipment, found in Asyut at the end of the 19th century during an illegal excavation. The contents of the tomb, which at the time of the discovery appeared undisturbed, were mainly sold to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. They are now on display in the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza.
