          Si Rameses the Great (Rameses II, c. 1303 B.C. – 1213 B.C.) ay ang tinaguriang pinakamakapangyarihang pharaoh sa kasaysayan sa Egyptian Empire. Tinawag din siya sa salitang Greek na Ozymandias, na siyang naging inspirasyon ni Percy Bysshe Shelley sa pagsulat ng kaniyang tulang “Ozymandias.” Ang Remeses din na ito ang ginampanang papel ni Yul Brynner sa pelikulang The Ten Commandments (1956) na naging katunggali ni Moses na ginampanan naman ni Charlton Heston. Siya ang Rameses na paraong tinutukoy sa aklat ng Bibliya na Exodus.
