Shanakdakhete, also spelled Shanakdakheto or Sanakadakhete, was a queen regnant of the Kingdom of Kush, ruling from Meroë in the early first century AD. Shanakdakhete is poorly attested, though is known to have constructed a temple in Naqa.
Shanakdakhete was previously believed to have been the first Kushite queen regnant'''' due to an erroneous dating of her inscriptions. This role is now instead attributed to Nahirqo.
