Nebet (“Lady”; Template:Fl.) was created vizier during the late Old Kingdom of Egypt by King Pepi I of the Sixth Dynasty,[1][2] who was her son-in-law (and possibly also her nephew).[3] She is the first recorded female vizier in Ancient Egyptian history; the next was in the 26th Dynasty.[4][5]

She was the wife of the nobleman Khui, who was overseer of the Pyramid City.[6]

Her daughters, the Queens Ankhesenpepi I and Ankhesenpepi II were, respectively, the mothers of the Kings Merenre Nemtyemsaf and Pepi II.

Her son Djau, who had a tomb in Abydos became vizier for his nephews, the kings.[7] She is mentioned in his tomb.

Nebet was a contemporary of Weni the Elder.[6]
