Pepinakht, nicknamed Heqaib, also Hekaib or Hekayeb (fl.c. 2250 BC), was an ancient Egyptian nomarch of the 1st Nome of Upper Egypt ("Land of the Bow") under king Pepi II, towards the end of the 6th Dynasty. He was also an officer in charge of military expeditions in Nubia.

Heqaib was posthumously deified for his military prowess.
