Hathorhetep (also Hat-Hor-hetep ) was an ancient Egyptian king's daughter from the end of the 12th or 13th dynasty .

Hathorhetep is known with certainty only from the fragment of a canopic jar that is in the pyramid of Amenemhet III. found in Dahshur . After problems with the construction of the pyramid, it was abandoned as a royal pyramid and queens and royal daughters were buried here. Because of the location in the pyramid it was initially assumed that Hathorhetep was under Amenemhet III. dated and was one of his daughters. The inscriptions on the canopic fragment, however, show mutilated hieroglyphics , suggesting a dating entirely to the end of his reign or even later, which means that she may not be his daughters.
