Nikaure was an ancient Egyptian prince and vizier during the 4th Dynasty. His titles include king's eldest son of his body (sA-nswt n Xt=f), as well as chief justice and vizier (smsw tAjtj sAb TAtj).
Nikaure was a son of Pharaoh Khafre and Queen Persenet. His wife was named Nikanebti. She was a priestess of Hathor, Mistress of the Sycamore in all her places.[1]
In Nikaure's tomb a will outlining his legacy is preserved. The will is dated to the "year of the twelfth occurrence of the numbering of large and small cattle (year 24 of Khafre).[2] Nikaure leaves property to his wife Nikanebti, his son Nikaure, his daughter Hetepheres, and his son Ka-en-nebti-wer. The property that would have gone to a (presumably) deceased daughter reverts to Nikaure's wife Nikanebti.[3]
Nikaure's tomb is LG 87 in Giza using the numbering introduced by Lepsius.[1] It is also given the designation G 8158, and is located in the Central Field which is part of the Giza Necropolis.[4]
