Amenhotep I

**Amenhotep I** (nekad navođen kao **Amenophis I** što znači "Amun je zadovoljan") je bio drugi faraon 18. dinastije Egipta. Njegova vladavina se obično datira u period od 1526. do 1506. pne. Rođen je u braku Ahmosea I i Ahmose-Nefertari, ali je imao najmanje dva starija brat, Ahmose-ankha i Ahmose Sapaira, te se nije očekivalo da bi mogao naslijediti prijestolje. Međutim, između 8. i 17. vladarske godine Ahmosea I i njegove smrti, njegov prijestonasljednik je umro te je Amenhotep preuzeo taj položaj. Potom je preuzeo prijestolje i vladao oko 21 godina.

Iako njegova vladavina nije dobro dokumentirana, moguće je rekonstruirati najvažnije događaje. Naslijedio je kraljevstvo stvoreno očevima osvajanjima te je održao dominaciju nad Nubijom i Deltom Nila, ali vjerojatno nije pokušavao održavati egipatsku vlast nad Sirijom i Palestinom. Nastavio je graditi hramove u Gornjem Egiptu, te je revolucionirao dizajn zagrobnih hramova odijelivši svoj grob od zagrobnog hrama, uspostavivši trend koji će se održati kroz Novo kraljevstvo. Nakon smrti je deificiran kao bog-zaštitnik Deir el-Medine.
