    Beni Hasan or Beni-Hassan is an Ancient Egyptian cemetery site. It is located approximately 20 kilometers to the south of modern-day Minya. While there are some Old Kingdom burials at the site, it was primarily used during the Middle Kingdom, spanning the 21st to 17th centuries BC.
    The site is one of the elements included in the UNESCO Tentative List for World Heritage designation, Necropolises of Middle Egypt, from the Middle Empire to the Roman period.
