Iushenshen was an ancient Egyptian town in the Coptic nome in Upper Egypt.

According to the Ramesside Onomastica the place was located south of Coptos.

Near Khozam were excavated several cemeteries with some of them dating back to the Badarian Period (about 4000 BC).

Near Khozam the false door of the local governor User and the false door of the overseer of Upper Egypt Tjauti were also found, they date to the very end of the Old Kingdom.

These high officials were evidently buried here and it seems that the capital of the Coptite nome moved at the end of the Old Kingdom to this place.
