Vekhssere - also known as Wekhssere - was dynast of Lycia in the mid 5th century BC, at a time when this part of Anatolia was subject to the Persian, or Achaemenid, Empire.
Present-day knowledge of Lycia in the period of classical antiquity comes mostly from archaeology, in which this region is unusually rich.
Vekhssere I seems to have been based in Xanthos.
