Ahmose-Sitamun or just Sitamun was a princess of the early Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt.
Her name Ahmose-Sitamun (sꜣt-jmn; Sat-Amun/Satamun) means "Child of the Moon, Daughter of Amun".
Sitamun [1] was the daughter of Pharaoh Ahmose I and sister of Amenhotep I. Her titles were: King's Daughter (sꜣt-nsw); King's Sister (snt-nsw); God's Wife (ḥmt-nṯr) Her name was written in cartouche.
By Year 18 of Ahmose I (1570-1546 BC high chronology), her title string included King's Daughter and God's Wife. When her brother Amenhotep I (1545-1526 BC high chronology) became king, the title King's Sister was added to her title string.

The Tomb of Sitamun has not been identified. Her mummy was found in a secondary context.
