Kagemni () was a vizier from the early part of the reign of King Teti of the Sixth Dynasty of Egypt. Kagemni's wife Seshseshet Nubkhetnebty was a King's daughter and the daughter of Teti.

==Biography== Kagemni held a great number of titles. He was an overseer of the two houses of gold and an overseer of the two treasuries. He also held several religious positions, including that of High Priest of Re and Stolist of Min. Other duties were related to the royal palace: overseer of the two chambers of the king's adornment, director of the Mansions of the White and Red Crowns and keeper of the head ornaments. As vizier, Kagemni also held the positions of overseer of the scribes of the king's documents, overseer of all the works of the king, and overseer of the six great courts. The exterior scenes cover the wall of the first room, while the scenes associated with the funeral meal are concentrated in the farthest part of the tomb. The inscriptions contain the names of the scenes, a description of the sacrifices and their provenance, as well as numerous titles of the Kagemni.
