laret (King's Great Wife; King's Daughter; King's Sister) was the daughter of Amunhotep II and wife of Thutmose IV. She is depicted on a Year 7 stela of Thutmose IV from Konosso[1] as well as on inscriptions from the turquoise mines at Serabit el-Khadim in the Sinai from the same year.[2] The transcription of her name is uncertain; it is written with a single cobra, which has a number of possible readings.

Iaret may have been the mother of Sitamun and the grandmother of Nefertiti.[citation needed]
