Satiah (also, Sitiah, Sitioh; "Daughter of the Moon") was an Ancient Egyptian queen, the Great Royal Wife of Thutmose III [1].

Her mother was the royal nurse Ipu [2]. It is possible that her father was the important official Ahmose Pen-Nekhebet [3]. Satiah died during her husband's reign and Thutmose's next Great Royal Wife was Merytre-Hatshepsut . No children of Satiah are known, though there is a possibility that Prince Amenemhat \endash Thutmose's eldest son, who died before his father \endash was her son[4].

Satiah's titles include: King's Wife (hmt-nisw), Great King's Wife (hmt-niswt-wrt) and God's Wife (hmt-ntr).[5]

Satiah is attested in:

Abydos : The text on an offering table mentions her mother, the "nurse of the god" Ipu. The offering table was dedicated by the lector priest Therikiti. [6].
Abydos: Bronze votive axe-head(?) (now in the Cairo Museum). The axe-head is inscribed with the name of Queen Sitiah [7].
Temple of Monthu (Tod): Statue of Queen Sitiah dedicated by Tuthmosis III after her death (now in the Cairo Museum) [8].
