THIS MIGHT SURPRISE YOU
The answer
Not in the Bible. Exodus 1:8 says only that "a new king arose over Egypt." A study Bible, the New Oxford Annotated Bible, notes that he is not named there or anywhere else in the Bible. The scholar Michael Coogan adds that the next pharaoh, the one of the Exodus itself, is not named either. Rameses does appear, but as a place: the supply city the Israelites built (Exodus 1:11) and the town they set out from (Exodus 12:37).
Why it’s interesting
The study Bible says the new king is often identified as Rameses II, who ruled 1279 to 1213 BC. It also says that leaving him nameless is perhaps a way of belittling him. Coogan adds that if the writers had named the pharaohs, we would know roughly when they thought the events took place.
