Nebetnehat ("Lady of the sycamore tree"; the name was one of the attributes of the goddess Hathor) was an ancient Egyptian queen consort during the mid-18th dynasty. She was the Great Royal Wife of an unidentified pharaoh. Her name is only known from an alabaster canopic fragment found in the valley of the Queens.[1] The canopic jar was part of a find referred to as the Tomb of the Princesses.[2]

Granted the fact that she held the title of Great Royal Wife, she could have been someone relatively close to Amenhotep III perhaps a daughter or some other female relative.
