At the very least, there are 6 distinct Pharaohs in The Bible, but there are several psalms and phrases which could refer to other different unnamed Pharaohs.

The first Pharaoh is the one that meets Abraham and Sarah in Genesis ch. 12 and has no name. The second Pharaoh is the one that speaks with Joseph while the latter reveals Pharaoh's dream in Genesis ch. 41; this Pharaoh is also nameless. The third Pharaoh is the famous one from the Exodus in Exodus. ch. 10, that Moses confronts to allow the Jews to escape enslavement. The fourth Pharaoh is mentioned in 1 Kings ch. 3 as the father of one of King Solomon's wives. The fifth Pharaoh is explicitly named as Pharaoh Neco and is a Pharaoh to which the Kingdom of Judah became a tributary vassal according to 2 Kings ch. 23. Jeremiah refers to a Pharaoh Hophra in Jeremiah ch. 44.
