Amenemhat was an ancient Egyptian High Priest of Amun at Karnak, during the reign of pharaoh Amenhotep II of the 18th Dynasty.

A son of the wab-priest and "Overseer of the sandal makers of Amun", Djehutyhotep, Amenemhat is attested by several funerary cones now exhibited at the University College, London (UC 37551)[1] and in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York;[2] he also left an inscription outlining his career at Gebel el-Silsila.[3]
He was probably buried in TT97 at Qurna, near Thebes.
