Neferkahor (died {{Circa}} 2181 BC) may have been ancient Egyptian king of the Eighth Dynasty during the First Intermediate Period.Darrell D. Baker: The Encyclopedia of the Pharaohs: Volume I - Predynastic to the Twentieth Dynasty 3300–1069 BC, Stacey International, {{ISBN|978-1-905299-37-9}}, 2008, p. 261-262 According to Egyptologists Jürgen Beckerath and Darrell Baker, he was the eleventh king of this dynasty.Jürgen von Beckerath:Handbuch der ägyptischen Königsnamen (Münchner ägyptologische Studien), 1984

His name is attested on the Abydos King List (number 50) and on a black steatite cylinder seal of unknown provenance.Peter Kaplony, Die Rollsiegel des Alten Reichs. vol. II: Katalog der Rollsiegel. pl. 144. Neferkahor is absent from the Turin canon as a large lacuna in this document affects most kings of the 7th/8th Dynasty.Kim Ryholt: The Late Old Kingdom in the Turin King-list and the Identity of Nitocris, Zeitschrift für ägyptische, 127, 2000, p. 91 No contemporary document or building with his name has been found.Thomas Schneider: Lexikon der Pharaonen. Albatros, Düsseldorf 2002, {{ISBN|3-491-96053-3}}, p. 114.Jürgen von Beckerath: Handbuch der ägyptischen Königsnamen. Deutscher Kunstverlag, München/ Berlin 1984, {{ISBN|3-422-00832-2}}, p. 48, 186.
