Ramesses X (also written Ramses and Rameses) Amonhirkhepeshef (ruled c. 1106 – 1102 BC) was the ninth ruler of the 20th dynasty of Ancient Egypt. It is unclear if his reign was 3 or 4 Years, but there is now a general concensus that it did not last as long as 9 Years.

Ramesses X is a poorly documented king. All that is really known about his kingship is that the disorder which became prevalent under his predecessors continued to grow under his reign.
