No, according to a Stele in Southern Egypt, is was the Pharoh Djoser. The young man who we call Joseph is called Medir on this particular stele.
The Egyptian story goes like this: Egypt was in a time of famine. The annual flooding of the Nile, which governed their agriculture, had been severely low for 7 years. Djoser had a dream in which the God of the Nile showed him that one of the God's temples was in poor shape. He went to his high priest and to the son-in-law of that grand vizier, who was Medir the governor of upper Egypt, and asked their advice on the dream. They both said that the temple was in bad shape, and that if Djoser rebuilt the temple, they would have prosperous years ahead. Djoser complied. After the rebuilding, they had seven years of over-abundant harvest. They then erected the Stele near the temple to commemorate the story.
As an aside, the stele was erected about 1000 years before the Jewish version of the story was even suppose to have taken place. Also, there is no evidence that Medir had ever been a Hebrew.
Archeologically, one could say that the priesthood who "found the books of Moses" in the temple after the Jews returned from captivity in Babylonia had borrowed the story, along with many others, to help the Israelites to rebuild a national identity after so many years of captivity.

Move 1 dynasty forward...
If the Biblical numbers are taken literally and at face value, the probable kings during the enslavement and subsequent rise to power of Joseph would have been Sesostris II (1897-1878 BC) and Sesostris III (1878-1843 BC). [3] This argument then rests on how one interprets 1 Kings 6:1, a verse which dates the Exodus 480 years before the fourth year of Solomon, ca. 966 BC.

I wonder if you do realize that this Joseph is not the "father" of Jesus Christ, but another guy?
By the way, Rameses1 was the Pharaoh of Moses' time!?!?
In the time of Jesus, Judea was a Roman Protectorate!?!?

I have no idea but I am sure some historians could tell you. I do not believe the name is mentioned in the bible.
