Akhnoukh Fanous (Coptic: ⲉⲛⲱⲭ ⲫⲁⲛⲟⲩⲥ; 1856–1946) was a prominent Egyptian political figure of the early twentieth century. Fanous is best known for founding the Egyptian Party in 1908, which consisted mainly of wealthy Copts, who were "Egyptians of Christian faith". He also funded and organized the Coptic Conference in 1911, held in Assiut, which advocated Coptic rights.
