Padiamenope[2]: 431 [3] (also known by the hellenised form Petamenophis[3]: 259 [1]) was an ancient Egyptian royal scribe and chief lector priest between the late 25th Dynasty and the early 26th Dynasty, known mainly for his immense tomb, one of the largest ever built in ancient Egypt.

His titles provide only vague hints about his career, with none of these seemingly referring to any political charge.

[1] It consists of 22 rooms, spread over four underground levels, whose walls offer over 2600m2 of decorations, although not always well preserved.

Notably, the wall inscriptions show a collection of ancient funerary texts such as the Book of Gates, but revisited in simpler and more contemporary terms.

During 2004–2005, a team led by Claude Traunecker of the University of Strasbourg undertook a systematic exploration of the tomb.
