Lady Wac-Chanil-Ahau (modern reading - Ix-Wak-Chan-'Ajaw-Lem?)[pronunciation?] was a Maya princess c. 682 AD who was part of an arranged marriage between the Maya cities of Dos Pilas and Naranjo (in modern Guatemala) to include Naranjo into the Calakmul-Dos Pilas alliance. Instead Naranjo defeated Caracol in a power struggle.

She was important to politics during the Mesoamerican Classic Period (250 AD-900 AD). Her son K'ak' Tiliw Chan Chaak was an important figure in later Maya development.
