Keminub () was an ancient Egyptian queen with the title ''king's wife. She lived during the Late 12th Dynasty or Early 13th Dynasty of the Egyptian Middle Kingdom.

==Burial== ===Tomb=== At Dahshur, the tomb of Keminub was next to the pyramid of Amenemhat II. For that reason, it has been suggested she was his wife. The tomb had been heavily plundered by robbers, leaving only fragments of the coffins, which allowed the archaeologists to identify the names and titles of the Keminub. The tomb is characterized by a long vaulted corridor, mud-brick walls, and a thoroughly looted burial chamber.
