Hatepuna, also known as Hatepinu, is a Hattian goddess.

Her Name originates in Hattic ha, "sea", and puna, "Child". She is the daughter of the sea god and becomes the wife of Telipinu because of the rescue of Istanu. Tarhun and the sea god agree under the meditation of Hannahannah to a bride price. Hatepuna's temple was in Maliluha.
