美什維什

美什維什（埃及語：Mšwš.w，英語：Meshwesh，在古埃及語中常被縮寫為Ma），是一個古利比亞柏柏爾人部族，與利布和特赫努類似。

關於美什維什人的早期記錄可以追溯到埃及第十八王朝的阿蒙霍特普三世統治時期。在第十九和第二十王朝期間（約公元前1295-1075年），美什維什人與古埃及幾乎一直處於衝突之中。在第二十一王朝後期，越來越多的美什維什人開始在埃及的西三角洲地區定居。在第二十一王朝後期，在奧索爾孔法老治下最終控制了埃及。經過38年的休養生息，在此期間，埃及本土的君主西阿蒙和普蘇森尼斯二世繼承了法老之位，美什維什人在整個第二十二和第二十三王朝統治着埃及，統治者包括舍順克一世、奧索爾孔一世、奧索爾孔二世、舍順克三世和奧索爾孔三世等法老。
