'''Nebtu''' was an [[ancient Egypt]]ian, the wife of [[Thutmose III]].<ref>Aidan Dodson & Dyan Hilton: The Complete Royal Families of Ancient Egypt. Thames & Hudson, 2004, {{ISBN|0-500-05128-3}}, p.140</ref>

She was depicted on a pillar in Thutmose's tomb [[KV34]] where the pharaoh leads a procession of his family members – his two [[Great Royal Wife|Great Royal Wives]] [[Merytre-Hatshepsut]] and [[Satiah]], his wife Nebtu and his daughter Nefertari. The names of Satiah and Nefertari are followed by ''[[Maa Kheru|maa kheru]],'' showing that they were already deceased when the tomb was made. Unlike the name of the other two wives, Nebtu's name is not enclosed in a [[cartouche]].<ref>Dodson & Hilton, op.sit., p.133</ref>

She had an estate, the steward of which, Nebamun was buried in [[TT24]].<ref>Dodson & Hilton, op.sit., p.140</ref>
