Necho I (circa 672?664 BC) was governor of the Egyptian city of Sais. His rule lasted only two years as Necho I in the 26th Dynasty or, if one account is accurate, eight years as Ramses I of the 19th Dynasty of ancient Egypt. He is primarily attested in Assyrian documents. He was installed as ruler by Assurbanipal around 654 BC, but he may have ruled prior to this event.
