Amanikhatashan was a ruling queen of Kush (ca. 62-ca. 85).[citation needed] Her proper title is Kandake. Her pyramid is at Meroe in the Sudan. She was preceded by Amanitenmemide (ca. 50-62) and succeeded by Teritnide.

Amanikhatashan is famous for having sent her Kushite cavalry to help Titus during the Great Jewish Revolt in 70 AD.[citation needed]
