Tentamun ("she of Amun ") was an ancient Egyptian queen, most likely the wife of Ramesses XI, last ruler of the 20th Dynasty. She is mentioned on the funerary papyrus of her daughter Duathathor-Henuttawy, who was the wife of Pinedjem I and probably the daughter of Ramesses XI. Tentamun's name is written in a cartouche.[2]
