Sithathoriunet () was an ancient Egyptian king's daughter (sꜣt-nsw) of the Twelfth Dynasty, during the Middle Kingdom period. She is mainly known from her burial at El Lahun in which a treasure trove of jewellery was found.

==Family== She was possibly a daughter of king Senusret II, since her burial site was found next to his pyramid. This would make her one of five known children and one of three daughters of Senusret II, alongside Senusret III, Senusretseneb, Itakayt and Nofret.
