The pyramid of Ameny Qemau is an ancient Egyptian pyramid located in southern Dahshur. It was constructed for Ameny Qemau, an obscure king of the 13th Dynasty during the Second Intermediate Period.
The pyramid originally stood 35 metres (115 ft) high with a base length of 52 metres (171 ft). The entrance was towards the east. The stone constituting its upper structure has been entirely robbed but the damaged substructures remain.
The burial chamber comprised from a single colossal block of quartzite similar to that of Amenemhat III, with receptacles for the sarcophagus and the canopic jars hewn out of the interior of the block.
