Nehesi was treasurer ( jmj-r3-ḫtmt ) under the ancient Egyptian ruler Hatshepsut (approximately from 1479 to 1458 BC).

Nehesi is best known from the Queen's mortuary temple in Deir el-Bahari . There he appears in their ninth year of reign on reliefs as head of the point expedition . Besides, little is known about his person. He had his grave on the site of the Bubasteion in Saqqara and a chapel in Jabal al-Silsila (No. 14).
