Meret-Isesi (also Mereret-Isesi; "Beloved by Isesi"; ) was a Princess of Egypt during the 5th Dynasty. Her father was King Djedkare. Meret-Isesi appears as a ''King's daughter of his body'' in a relief which likely comes from Abusir.
The relief can be found on the Brooklyn Museum page for Mereret-Isesi. The caption identifies this princess as Kekheretnebti (she was a sister of Mereret-Isesi), but the text clearly identifies her as Mereret-Isesi.
