辛奴亥的故事（英语：Story of Sinuhe），（约活动于公元前20世纪前后），主角辛奴亥为古埃及中王国第十二王朝（约公元前1938年至约公元前1756年）官员。他是阿门内姆哈特一世的王后为其丈夫留下的后宫官员。在一次征讨利比亚的途中，他得悉阿门内姆哈特一世被刺（约公元前1908年）后，即从军营中潜逃。他最初打算前往南方，但在横渡尼罗河时被风吹向北方，进入巴勒斯坦。他在巴勒斯坦和黎巴嫩漫游了很长时间后，被邀请到南叙利亚和一位酋长同往，这位酋长收留了他，并以长女许以为妻。他遂在该地安家并成为了一位名符其实的族长。他捍卫岳父的疆土，款待往返埃及的使者。埃及国王塞索斯特里斯一世邀请其重返埃及故土并予以赦免，同时用重礼欢迎他归来。他在故乡再次结婚，塞索斯特里斯一世下令为他修建一座极好的陵墓。由于其经历揭示了古埃及当时的政治和社会情况，故他的传记成为人们喜爱的史话流传下来。他的事迹通过现代芬兰作家瓦尔塔里改写成通俗小说《埃及人》（1949年）。

The Story of Sinuhe is considered one of the finest works of Ancient Egyptian literature. It is a narrative set in the aftermath of the death of Pharaoh Amenemhat I, founder of the 12th dynasty of Egypt, in the early 20th century BC. It is likely that it was composed only shortly after this date, albeit the earliest extant manuscript is from the reign of Amenemhat III, c. 1800 BC. There is an ongoing debate among Egyptologists as to whether or not the tale is based on actual events involving an individual named Sinuhe, with the consensus being that it is most likely a work of fiction. Due to the universal nature of the themes explored in "Sinuhe", including divine providence and mercy, its anonymous author has been described as the "Egyptian Shakespeare" whose ideas have parallels in biblical texts. "Sinuhe" is considered to be a work written in verse and it may also have been performed. The great popularity of the work is witnessed by the numerous surviving fragments.
