Nubkheperre Intef VII (or Antef) was an Egyptian king of the Seventeenth dynasty of Egypt at Thebes during the Second Intermediate Period , when Egypt was divided by rival dynasties including the Hyksos in Lower Egypt. He is known to be the brother of Intef VI and perhaps the son of Sekhemre Shedtawy Sobekemsaf I . Intef VII is one of the best attested kings of this Dynasty who restored numerous damaged temples in Upper Egypt as well as constructing a new temple at Gebel Antef.

Intef VII ruled from Thebes , and was buried in a tomb in the necropolis of Dra' Abu el-Naga' . The grave was originally covered with a small pyramid (approximately 11 m at the base, rising to a height of approx. 13 m.) Auguste Mariette found two broken obelisks with complete Fivefold Titulary , which was then subsequently lost on transport to the Cairo Museum .

His wife was the great king's wife Sobekemsaf, perhaps coming from local family at Edfu . On an Abydos stela mentionning a building of the king appears also the king's son, head of the bowmen Nakht. He might be a son of the king although this is far from certain.

Intef married.
