Usermaatre Akhenamun Ramesses VIII (also written Ramses and Rameses) or Ramesses Sethherkhepshef Meryamun ('Set is his Strength, beloved of Amun') (reigned 1129–1128 BC, or 1130 BC), the seventh Pharaoh of the Twentieth Dynasty of the New Kingdom of Egypt. Ramesses VIII is the most obscure ruler of the 20th Dynasty, and the current information from his brief kingship suggests that he lasted on the throne for one year at the most.
