Hepu is the name of a hypothetical Egyptian pharaoh of the fourteenth dynasty, whose reign would have passed anytime between 1720 a. C. and 1630 a. This king, like many others of the same dynasty, is only known by the Real Canon of Turin, but does not appear the years of reign nor is known its name of Horus or the capital of its reign. The stylistic analysis of the glyphs used to write the name of this monarch led Egyptologists who have studied the Royal Canon to propose the hypothesis that it is that of a fictitious king, which appeared for reasons unknown in the document that served as a source for the development of the Royal Canon.
