Seeeser (reading of the name uncertain, perhaps also Seeer) was an ancient Egyptian king's daughter of the 2nd Dynasty (around 2800 BC). Seeeser is known from her small grave (No. 2146E) in Saqqara , where her dead stele was also found, which gives her name and title. The stele is 1.12 m long in total, but the decorated central field is only 57 × 42 cm in size and shows people sitting in front of a sacrificial table. Lists of victims can be found to the left and right of her picture. Her grave is small and consists of a staircase with a chamber that was found robbed. The stele was found discarded in the rubble of the chamber, but was once installed in a mastaba that is no longer preserved .
It is unknown who her royal father was. Stylistically, the stele can be dated to the 2nd dynasty, in which most of the other graves in this part of Saqqara can also be dated. It is one of the oldest documents for a king's daughter .
