Baqet I was an Ancient Egyptian local governor in the Oryx nome dating to the early Middle Kingdom (11th Dynasty) who is mainly known from his tomb chapel at Beni Hasan (BH 29). Little is known about his person. His wife was called Djehutyqai. One son is attested who was also called Baqet and who became successor as governor in the Oryx nome and is known as Baqet II. In the tomb decoration appear texts with titles of Baqet I. Most importantly he was Great overlord of the Oryx nome, but also Haty-a, Royal sealer and sole friend.
