Ptolemy VII, also known as Ptolemy VII Neos Philopator, was a brief ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom in Egypt during the late 2nd century BCE.

At the age of fifteen, he was appointed co-king with his father, and upon the death of his father in July 145, assumed the title of heir apparent.
For this reason his mother took the title of Regent until her marriage to his uncle Ptolemy VIII Evergetes II Tryphon, King of Cyrene. Ptolemy VIII, wanting to regain the throne of Egypt, had him assassinated that same year.

This is why Ptolemy VIII Evergetes II Tryphon is often found with the number VII instead of VIII.
Even if his rule cannot be considered long or very flourishing, Ptolemy VII Neos Philopator is, nonetheless, a significant character in the analysis of the Ptolemaic dynasty as well as Egyptian history. His life shows how complicated succession and turning allies into enemies were within the dynasty itself.
