Reptynub ({{IPAc-en|r|ɛ|p|t|iː|n|ʊ|b}};{{fix|text=stress?}} also written as Repytnub and Reputnebu; {{fl.|{{circa}} 2430 BC}}) was a queen consort during the Fifth Dynasty of Egypt. She was the wife of King Nyuserre Ini.Uppsala studies in ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern civilizations. By Magnus Ottosson.

She is mentioned on pages 52 and 55, together with Meresankh IV. London: Thames & Hudson, 2006. She was possibly a mother of Menkauhor Kaiu (if he was Nyuserre’s son).M. Verner, The Pyramids, 1997

Reptynub is identified as the wife of Nyuserre based on the discovery of a fragment of a statue in his mortuary temple. A smaller pyramid next to that of Nyuserre likely belonged to his wife and the pyramid may have belonged to Reptynub.Dodson, Aidan and Hilton, Dyan. The Complete Royal Families of Ancient Egypt.

Fragments of a statue of a queen were found in the tomb of the vizier Ptahshepses and his wife, the king’s daughter Khamerernebty. No name was found on the statue fragments, but the statue is assumed to depict Reptynub.

She could be a mother of the princess Reputnebty,M. Verner, Abusir III: The Pyramid Complex of Khentkaus, Czech Institute of Egyptology, Praha, 1995 who is mentioned on a limestone fragment found in the pyramid complex of the queen Khentkaus II. She was named after Two Ladies.

Another probable child of Reptynub was Prince Khentykauhor.He is mentioned together with Reputnebty on a limestone fragment and is called "King’s son".

The father-in-law of Reptynub was King Neferirkare Kakai, and her brother-in-law was King Neferefre.
