新王国时期是古埃及的一个时期，起于公元前16世纪至前11世纪，涵盖了第十八王朝、第十九王朝及第二十王朝。
在新王国时期的埃及对外扩张势力，但人民的精力却为战事所消耗，文化的进步也因此迟滞了。此时埃及的国都已由孟斐斯移至尼罗河上流的底比斯。最著名的对外扩张的国王是图特摩斯三世。他组编了一支强而有力的军队，自己做了大将，把埃及的版图向东边扩张到亚洲的幼发拉底河，向南边扩张到红海的南口。
The New Kingdom, sometimes referred to as the Egyptian Empire, is the period in ancient Egyptian history between the 16th century BC and the 11th century BC, covering the Eighteenth, Nineteenth, and Twentieth Dynasties of Egypt. The New Kingdom (1570–1070 BC) followed the Second Intermediate Period and was succeeded by the Third Intermediate Period. It was Egypt’s most prosperous time and marked the zenith of its power.
