Khenmes was an Egyptian vizier during the early 13th Dynasty, in the late Middle Kingdom. He is believed to have resided in Itjtawy in Lower Egypt.
Khenmes is known for sure only from two sourcesː The fragment of a statue is now in the British Museum (EA75196). Khenmes is also attested in a rock inscription found Aswan. The statue is dated under king the early Thirteenth Dynasty king Sekhemkare Amenemhat Senebef. It bears a dedication inscription of this king.
The mother of the vizier was a certain woman called Satkhentykhety. She is mentioned on both monuments. The name of one of his sons in the rock inscription is not well preserved but his title royal sealer implies that he was a high official at the royal court
