God's Father or Divine Father (ancient Egyptian: it-nṯr) is an ancient Egyptian honorific title. The title was usually held by the father-in-law of the Pharaoh, the most famous individuals would be Yuya and Ay, the latter even used this title as his epithet upon ascending to the throne. The title may also be given to the non-royal father of a pharaoh, as the title was attested for Mentuhotep, the non-royal father of Pharaoh Sobekhotep III of the Thirteenth Dynasty. At the same time, the title could also serve as an honorific title for consecrated priests, in which case the title was usually extended with reference to the deity of the priest's cult, the most common example being the "God's Father of Amun".
