The Chester Beatty Medical Papyrus is one of the medical papyri of ancient Egypt. It is dedicated to anorectal diseases,[1] and is dated around 1200 BC. It was part of the papyri collection of Chester Beatty and is not to be confused with the Chester Beatty Biblical Papyri (alias Chester Beatty Papyri).

"Papyrus VI of the Chester Beatty Papyri 46 (Papyrus no. 10686,. British Museum) also contains some recipes dealing with anorectal diseases."[2]
