Meruserre Yaqub-Har (transliteration: yꜥqp-hr) was a Pharaoh of ancient Egypt during the Second Intermediate Period. The chronological placement of his reign remains highly uncertain, even the dynasty to which he belonged is unclear.

Yaqub-Har may be a ruler of the 14th Dynasty[2] or a vassal of the Hyksos of the 16th Dynasty.[3] His scarab seals stylistically belong to the time of Khyan,[4] combined with the fact that he used fully Egyptian royal titulary he likely ruled shortly after Khyan, possibly after an intervening reign of Yanassi.
