Apepi I, (also Auserre Apepi or Apophis) was a ruler of Lower Egypt during the Fifteenth dynasty and the end of the Second Intermediate Period. According to the Turin Canon of Kings, he ruled for fourty years, and would have ruled during the early half of the 1500's if he outlived his rival Kamose but not Ahmose I. Apepi dominated over most of Lower and Middle Egypt during the early portion of his reign, and traded peacefully with the Theban 17th Dynasty. A vase belonging to his daughter, Herit, was found in the tomb of Amenhotep I, which might indicate that at some point his daughter may have been married to a Theban king. Although he may have possibly even been the suzerain over Upper Egypt during the beginning of his reign, the 17th Dynasty eventually assumed dominance, and the Hyksos were driven out of egypt no more than 15 years after his death.

Auserre Apepi is probably the same person as Aqeneenre Apepi. While some Egyptologists believe king Apepi. Apepi would have changed his prenomen sometime in his reign.
