Ptahmose was High Priest of Ptah in Memphis during the time of Thutmose IV and/or Amenhotep III.

He was the son of a Prophet (priest) named Menkheper.[1] Ptahmose's son Pahonte would later serve as High Priest of Ptah.[2]
Ptahmose is attested by a squatting puddingstone statue now in the National Archaeological Museum (Florence) (inv. 1790),[1] and by a round topped, limestone stela with the High Priest of Ptah Ptahmose, son of Thutmose and his brother Meryptah. Another small stela, again in Florence (inv. 2537) may represent Ptahmose son of Menkheper or, alternatively, Ptahmose son of Thutmose.[1]
