The pyramid of Nyuserre (Egyptian: Mn-swt Nỉ-wsr-rꜥ, lit. 'Enduring are the places of Nyuserre') is the funerary monument built for the Egyptian pharaoh Nyuserre Ini of the Fifth Dynasty in the mid-25th-century BC. During his reign, Nyuserre had the unfinished monuments of his father, Neferirkare Kakai, mother, Khentkaus II, and brother, Neferefre, completed, before commencing work on his personal pyramid complex. He chose a site in the Abusir necropolis between the complexes of Neferirkare and Sahure, which, restrictive in area and terrain, economized the costs of labour and material. Nyuserre was the last king to be entombed in the necropolis; his successors chose to be buried elsewhere.
