Khahotepre Sobekhotep VI (transliteration: sbk-ḥtp, meaning: "Sobek is Pleased") was an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh of the Thirteenth Dynasty during the Second Intermediate Period.
Sobekhotep VI appears in the Turin King List as the successor of Sobekhotep IV. However, one line is missing between Sobekhotep IV and VI. Ryholt speculates that this line would preserve the name of Sobekhotep V.[1] Sobekhotep VI reigned according to this document only for four years. Sobekhotep IV was perhaps his father, as he had a son called 'Sobekhotep'. Sobekhotep VI is known from a statue found at Kerma and from several scarab-seals.
