Tantamani (Ancient Egyptian: tnwt-jmn, Neo-Assyrian: tanṭammanē, Ancient Greek: Τεμένθης Teménthēs), also known as Tanutamun or Tanwetamani (d. 653 BC) was ruler of the Kingdom of Kush located in Northern Sudan, and the last pharaoh of the Twenty-fifth Dynasty of Egypt.

Tantamani's dream stele states that he restored order from the chaos, where royal temples and cults were not being maintained.
