Baketmut (Ancient Egyptian: b3k.t-mwt, "Handmaid of Mut") was an ancient Egyptian princess of the Nineteenth Dynasty. She was the second daughter of Pharaoh Ramesses II.[1]

She is also depicted inside the temple, She appears as the second daughter after Bintanath. It has been proposed that her mother was Queen Nefertari, but it's not confirmed.[2] She is not shown at the Small Temple of Abu Simbel, which was built for Nefertari and has statues of princes and princesses who are likely to have been her children.[3]
Her tomb is not known.
