Meritites II (Merytiotes, Meritetes) or Meritites A was a 4th dynasty Princess of Ancient Egypt, and likely a daughter of King Khufu. She may have been a daughter of Meritites I based on the fact that this queen is mentioned in mastaba G 7650.She married the Director of the Palace Akhethotep (a non-royal court official) and she had several children with her husband. Meritites and her husband shared a mastaba (G 7650) in Giza. Titles of Akhethotep include sole friend, Priest of the Bas of Nekhen, and overseer of fishers/ fowlers. In the tomb several children are depicted. A block formerly in the McGregor collection, but now in Lisbon shows two daughters. One daughteris named Hetepheres and only a partial name has been preserved for the second girl: Khufu... Akhethotep and Meritites were buried at Giza in tomb G 7650. The mastaba is Stone built and the interior offering room is decorated. Akhethotep is depicted with his wife Meritites and attendants in some of the scenes.
