Bebanch (also Bebianch, Seuserenre ) was an ancient Egyptian king ( pharaoh ) of the 17th dynasty . With the throne name Se-user-en-Re he is occupied in the Turin Royal Papyrus (11/8) with a reign of 12 years. The exact date of his reign is uncertain. Jürgen von Beckerath puts Bebanch's rule beginning at the end of the 17th century BC. Chr.

The discovery of a fragment of a stele from the Gebel period made it possible to assign the proper name Bebanch to the throne name Se-user-en-Re . A knife from Naqada is provided with the proper name. Kim Ryholt sees him as a ruler of the 16th dynasty because of the position of his name in the Turin Royal Papyrus .

John Coleman Darnell refers to a graffito from Gebel-Tjauti . The inscription mentions the heliacal rise of Sirius for the 20th year of Schemu II for the 11th year of the reign of a king whose name is no longer preserved . The inscription also assigns Jürgen von Beckerath Bebanch, among others. If this assumption is confirmed, the 11th year of Bebanch's reign would be in the period between 1609 and 1604 BC. If Thebes was the place of observation of the heliacal rise.
