[[Karabel relief, circa 1350 BC.]] Sesostris () is the name of a king of ancient Egypt who, according to Herodotus, led a military expedition into parts of Europe. Tales of Sesostris are probably based on the life of Senusret I, Senusret III and perhaps other Pharaohs such as Shoshenq I and Ramesses II.

Sesostris' name is also given as Sesoösis or Sesonchosis in other sources.
