Mayta Cápac (Quechua Mayta Qhapaq Inka) was the fourth Sapa Inca of the Kingdom of Cuzco (beginning around 1290 CE) and a member of the Hurin dynasty. As son of Lloque Yupanqui, he was his heir and the father of Cápac Yupanqui. His wife's name is given as Mama Tankariy Yachiy or Mama Cuca.
The chroniclers describe him as a great warrior who conquered territories as far as Lake Titicaca, Arequipa, and Potosí. In fact, his kingdom was still limited to the valley of Cuzco. His great military feat may have been the subjugation of another tribe in the valley, the Alcaviza.[citation needed]
