Nefertiabet ("Nefert-Yabet", nfrt-jꜣbt; "Beautiful One of the East") was an ancient Egyptian princess of the 4th Dynasty. She may have been a daughter of Pharaoh Khufu, but was most likely his sister, and a daughter of Sneferu.
She lived around the reign of Khufu/Kheops (ca. 2589-2566 BCE). Based on the analysis of her tomb, she was likely buried circa 2580 BCE, in the middle of Khufu's reign.
