Tjanefer was an ancient Egyptian priest during the reign of the 21st dynasty.
His father was Nesipaherenmut, the Fourth Prophet of Amun, and his mother was Isetemheb. According to the Karnak Priestly Annals, in the 40th regnal year of Psusennes I (grandfather of his wife Gautseshen), Tjanefer served as the Fourth Prophet of Amun. He was later promoted to Third Prophet, as it is mentioned in a papyrus found in his tomb at Bab el-Gasus (today in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo).[2]
He married Gautseshen, the daughter of High Priest Menkheperre and Princess Isetemkheb. They had two sons, Pinedjem, later Fourth Prophet, and Menkheperre, Third Prophet of Amun.[3]
