The pyramid of Neferefre, or pyramid of Raneferef, (Egyptian: Nṯrỉ bꜣw Nfr-f-Rꜥ, lit. 'Divine is Neferefre's power') is the unfinished funerary monument built for the Egyptian pharaoh Neferefre of the Fifth Dynasty in the 25th century BC. It is the third and final pyramid built on the Abusir diagonal – a figurative line connecting the Abusir pyramids with Heliopolis – of the necropolis, and is sited south-west of Neferirkare's pyramid. The pyramid was hastily converted into a square mastaba or primeval mound after Neferefre's early death.
