Ameny was an Ancient Egyptian vizier under Middle Kingdom king Amenemhat II, around 1900 BC, in the Twelfth Dynasty. Ameny appears on the fragment of an annal stone of the king. The fragment was found by Flinders Petrie in Memphis and mentions a statue of this vizier. Ameny is perhaps also known from an offering table. However, the name Ameny belongs to the most common names of the Middle Kingdom. Therefore, the identity of both people on these objects is far from certain.
Ameny was an Ancient Egyptian official of the 13th Dynasty with the title high steward. In this function he was the main administrator of the royal estates. Ameny is known from several stelae, a statue and from scarabs. Ameny's father was a certain Tahaa and his mother the lady of the house Kemtet. Not much is known about them. As high steward Ameny was after the visier and treasurer the most important official at the royal court. On some of his monuments he appears with important ranking titles, such as member of the elite, foremost of action and royal sealer. On one stela in a private collection he appears next to the treasurer Senebsumai. The latter is well datable into the middle of the 13th Dynasty also providing a fixpoint for the date of Ameny.
