Setepenre is an often-used title of Egyptian kings (pharaohs), meaning "Elect of Re".

Setepenre also was the name of the sixth and last daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti. Unlike four of her sisters, her name does not include the -aten element. She was probably born in late year nine, or possibly early year ten of Akhenaten's reign.

Not much is known about Setepenre, although it is assumed she died young, predeceasing Meketaten who died in or around year 14. It is likely, however, that the young princess was not much older than 8 when she died.
