Hat Hor, also called Hat-Hor (actually Hor-hat; fl.c. 3180 BC) is a possible pharaoh or king of Dynasty 0 who ruled around the Naqada IIIb period.[1]

He is known only from two inscriptions: one inscription found in the eastern Nile Delta and a piece of pottery from Tura.[2]

  • his name on a vase found in tomb 1702 of the necropolis of Tarkhan.[3] This inscription has an image of a city that looks like Memphis but lacking a hawk identifier. However, the reading and interpretation of his name is not clear.[4]
  • a second inscription from Tura.[5]
