Only one son of Djedkare has been identified for certain, [[Neserkauhor]],{{sfn|Dodson|Hilton|2004|p=69}} who bore the title of "eldest beloved king's son of his body".{{efn|group=note|Neserkauhor was buried in mastaba C, south of Nyuserre's pyramid complex in the east of the Abusir necropolis.{{sfn|Baud|1999b|p=505}}}}{{sfn|Baud|1999b|p=505}}{{sfn|Verner|Callender|Strouhal|2002|p=55}} Neserkauhor also bore the title of [[Iry-pat]], showing that he was an important member of the royal court, as well as a priestly title "Greatest of the Five in the temple of [[Thoth]]", suggesting that he may have been a vizier{{sfn|Baud|1999b|p=505}} or had similar occupations.{{sfn|Verner|Callender|Strouhal|2002|p=55}}

As well as Neserkauhor, there is indirect evidence that princes [[Raemka]]{{efn|group=note|Prince Raemka was buried in the [[mastaba]] tomb S80, also known as mastaba D3 and QS 903, in Saqqara, north of Djoser's pyramid.{{sfn|Dodson|Hilton|2004|p=69}} His tomb seems to have been usurped{{sfn|Baud|1999b|p=510}} from a certain Neferiretnes.{{sfn|Met. Museum of Art|2016}} The chapel from Raemka's tomb is now on display in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.{{sfn|Met. Museum of Art|2016|loc=Tomb of Raemka}}}} and [[Kaemtjenent]]{{efn|group=note|Prince Kaemtjenent was buried in the mastaba tomb S84 in Saqqara.{{sfn|Dodson|Hilton|2004|p=69}}}}{{sfn|Brovarski|2001|p=15}} are sons of Djedkare{{sfn|Dodson|Hilton|2004|pp=68–69}}{{sfn|Baud|1999b|p=591}}{{sfn|Hayes|1978|p=94}} based on the dating and general location of their tombs in Saqqara. For example, the tomb of Kaemtjenent mentions vizier Rashepses, who served during the reign of Djedkare.{{sfn|Schott|1977|pp=443–461}}{{sfn|Sethe|1903|pp=181–186}} Raemka also bore the title of "king's son of his body",{{sfn|Baud|1999b|p=510}} almost exclusively reserved to true princes of royal blood.{{efn|group=note|As opposed to those bearing the title "king's son", which was used as an honorary title during the later Fifth Dynasty.}} The locations of Raemka's and Kaemtjenent's tombs have led some Egyptologists to believe that both princes are sons{{sfn|Baud|1999b|p=591}} of queen Meresankh IV buried nearby, who would thus be one of Djedkare's wives. These conclusions are debated, in particular in the case of Kaemtjenent, whose title of "king's son" may have been purely honorific.{{sfn|Strudwick|1985|p=225}}

A high official named [[Isesi-ankh]] could have been yet another son of Djedkare, as suggested by his name meaning "Isesi lives".{{sfn|Dodson|Hilton|2004|p=68}} Yet, similarities in the titles and locations of the tombs{{efn|group=note|Isesi-ankh was buried in mastaba D8, north of the pyramid of Djoser in Saqqara.{{sfn|Baud|1999b|p=421}}}} of Isesi-ankh and Kaemtjenent have led Egyptologists to propose that they could instead be brothers and sons of Meresankh IV,{{sfn|Stevenson Smith|1971|pp=187–188}} or that the former is a son of the latter.{{sfn|Strudwick|1985|pp=71–72}} Even though Isesi-ankh bore the title of "king's son", the Egyptologists Michel Baud and Bettina Schmitz argue that this filiation was fictitious, being only an honorary title.{{sfn|Schmitz|1976|p=88 & 90}}{{sfn|Baud|1999b|p=422}}

Finally, the successor of Djedkare, Unas, is thought to have been his son{{sfn|Altenmüller|2001|p=600}} in spite of the complete lack of evidence bearing on the question.{{sfn|Grimal|1992|p=80}} The main argument in favor of this filiation is that the succession from Djedkare to Unas seems to have been smooth,{{sfn|Baud|1999b|p=563}} as suggested indirectly, for example, by the Abusir papyri.{{sfn|Verner|2001a|p=411}} Indirect evidence also comes from the reliefs of Unas' causeway, which show many officials bearing names incorporating "Isesi", suggesting at the very least that Unas did not perceive Djedkare as an antagonist.{{sfn|Munro|1993|pp=17–19}}{{sfn|Altenmüller|1990|pp=1–2 & 5}}{{sfn|Baud|Dobrev|1995|pp=57–58}}
