Nebankh was an ancient Egyptian official of the Thirteenth dynasty. He is one of the better known personalities of this period.

Nebankh was the son of the steward Sobekhotep. His mother is named Hapyu. His brother Dedusobek was the father of queen Nubkhaes. Nebankh started his career as king's acquaintance and is attested in this position under king Neferhotep I. Under king Sobekhotep IV he was appointed to the position of a high steward. In this position he went on expeditions to the Wadi Hammamat and Wadi el-Hudi. Nebankh is known from a high number of monuments, including rock inscriptions and several stelae and a statue, found at Abydos. His heart scarab is so far the oldest datable heart scarab.
