Tjahapimu or Tjahepimu, (fl. c.360 BCE) was an ancient Egyptian prince, general and regent during the 30th Dynasty.
==Biography== Tjahapimu is archaeologically attested by statue made from meta–greywacke which was unearthed at Memphis and is now exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. On the statue, he is called "Brother of the King" and "Father of the King"; while there is no doubt that the latter title refers to his son Nectanebo II, the former one is still matter of debate. Two differing interpretations identified Tjahapimu's brother with either pharaoh Teos (thus being both sons of Nectanebo I) or Nectanebo I (in this case Tjahapimu would be Teos' uncle).
