Khutawyre Wegaf (transliteration: wgỉf) was an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh of the 13th Dynasty during the Second Intermediate Period. He is known from several sources, including a stelae and statues. There is a general known from a scarab likewise named Wegaf, who is perhaps identical with this king.

A king with the name Khutawyre appears in the Turin King List as first ruler of the 13th Dynasty. However, some researchers especially Kim Ryholt argue that the writer of the King list confused the name Khutawyre with the name Sekhemre-Khutawy and they place Wegaf in the middle of the 13th Dynasty. Sekhemre Khutawy Sobekhotep I is regarded by Kim Ryholt and other Egyptologists, including Darrell Baker, as son of Amenemhat IV.
