Amanitecha (reading is uncertain) was a Nubian king.
He is only known from his pyramid Beg N4 in Meroe . This pyramid is the oldest in the so-called North Cemetery of Meroe. It is a rather small structure with two underground chambers and not with three chambers as is usually the case. His names in the pyramid are poorly preserved so that they cannot be read with absolute certainty. The ruler probably dates to the third century BC.
