Nefertkau II was an Ancient Egyptian noble lady, the wife of Prince Khufukhaf I, son of pharaoh Khufu.[1]

Nefertkau and Khufukhaf had several children including two sons named Wetka and Iuenka, as well as an unnamed daughter.[2] Both sons Wetka and Iuenka appear in the tomb of Khufukhaf and Nefertkau offering papyrus. They are both are given the title King's son.[3] An unnamed daughter is depicted behind her seated parents in the inner hall of the mastaba.[4] It is possible that an official named Khufukhaf II is a third son of Khufukhaf I and Nefertkau.
