No, as far as we know, there has been no pharaoh of Mesopotamian origin. According to some, pharaoh Amenhotep II may have married a Babylonian princess, but this is highly unlikely.
The Assyrians have invaded Egypt in 720, 715 and 667 BCE. From 665 to 655 BCE, Egypt was under Assyrian dominion, but the Assyrian kings never saw themselves as pharaohs and saw Egypt as a vassal state.

Although the previous answers have been powerful, the correct answer is no. The Egyptian, like the Romans of the Republic era, were fiercely protective of their "citizenship", their cultural origins. As the Romans referred to others as "Barbarians" the Egyptians too looked down on foreigners (the Habiru, for instance, probably ancestors of the Hebrews), never able to ascend to the height of a god (Pharoah).
