Smenkhkare Imyrmeshau (transliteration: ỉmy-r-mšꜤw, meaning: "Overseer of the Army") was an Egyptian Pharaoh of the Thirteenth Dynasty, known from the Turin King List, two statues and a bead. He reigned only for a short period.
Since his name means general, it has been assumed that he held this title before becoming king, although this has not been proven. However, Imyrmeshau is otherwise well attested as name.
