Shorkaror (also transliterated Sherkarer, Sherakerer) was a king of Kush (''circa'' AD 20 - 30). Shorkahor was the third son of Natakamani and Amanitore. His older brothers Arikhankharer and Arikakahtani had been crown-prince before Shorkahor. While he was crown-prince the temple at Amada was constructed. His name was also found in the Napata Temple (room B 501). Queen Amanitore seems to have died before her husband Natakamani. After Natakamani's death Shorkahor took the throne.〔 Shorkahor commanded the inscription of a Meroitic relief found at Jabal Qayli, near the trade route to Kassala. This is the easternmost inscription of the Meroitic kings found so far.〔Derek A. Welsby, The Kingdom of Kush: The Napatan and Meroitic Empires, Princeton: Markus Wiener Publishers, 1998.〕 According to Reisner Shorkahor was likely buried in Pyramid 10 at Meroe (Bagrawiyah).〔G. A.
