Ramses IV was the third pharaoh of the Twentieth Dynasty of the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. While it is commonly agreed that he was the son of Ramesses III, it is less certain that he was the elder Ramses' oldest son. He became king at the age of 14, and his reign has been dated to either 1154 - 1148 BC or 1164 - 1158 BC.

He attempted a building campaign on the scale of Ramesses II, doubling the size of the work gangs at Deir el-Medina to a total of 120 men, and commanded expeditions to the quarries of Wadi Hammamat and the Sinai. However, he did not live long enough to accomplish his goals.

The most important document to survive from this pharaoh is papyrus Harris I, which honours the life of his father, Ramses III by sketching his accomplishments and his many gifts to the temples of Egypt.
