Mindjedef (according to another reading Djedefmin ) was a prince of the ancient Egyptian 4th dynasty . His family connections have not been fully clarified. He was probably a son of Kawab and thus a grandson of Pharaoh Cheops .

family

Mindjedef was probably a son of Kawab and his wife Hetepheres II. However, this assumption is only supported by the proximity of the two graves of Kawab and Mindjedef. His brothers were Kaemsechem and probably Duaenhor . Mindjedef was married to Chufuanch; no information is available about children from this marriage.
