The Theban Tomb C.14 is an ancient Egyptian tomb in Thebes, Upper Egypt. It is located in Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, part of the Theban Necropolis on the west bank of the Nile opposite Luxor. The tomb likely dates to the Twenty-sixth Dynasty of Egypt.[2]

It was previously thought to be the burial place of Ankhefendjehuty, also called Neferibre-seneb.[1] Recent work shows that Ankhefendjehuty likely usurped the tomb of Karakhamun (TT223). The tomb designated as C.14 by Wilkinson is in fact an unfinished, un-inscribed tomb. It was only partially constructed, and only one aisle of the pillared hall was completed.[2]
