Henuttawy (transliteration: ḥnw.t-tꜢwy, meaning: "Mistress of the Two Lands") was an ancient Egyptian God's Wife of Amun of the Twenty-first Dynasty during the Third Intermediate Period.

Name[]

As a God's Wife of Amun, Henuttawy's name is written in a cartouche. Like her predecessors in office, she made use of the prefix; Duatnetjer, which simply means Divine Adoratrice. It remains unknown whether Henuttawy - like other God's Wives of Amun - also took on a praenomen.

Family[]

The location of Henuttawy's tomb and mummy remain unknown. A few of her ushabtis have been discovered and are currently held at the Petrie Museum.[2]
