Khufukhaf II ("Khufu raised him") was a Prince of Egypt. He was born in the 4th dynasty, but he died in the 5th dynasty. He is also called Khufukhaf B or Khufukhaf the Younger.
Khufukhaf had the title "king's son". It is possible that he was a son of Prince Khufukhaf I. However, the only known sons of Khufukhaf I's were Wetka and Iuenka. Reisner claimed that Khufukhaf II was a grandson of Khufukhaf I and thus a son of either Wetka, Iuenka or Khufukhaf I's daughter. It is most possible that Khufukhaf II was a grandson, and not the son of Khufukhaf I.[1]
There was a wife of Khufukhaf I and her name was Khentkaus. She was King's daughter of his body. Thus she was a daughter of one pharaoh. Khentkaus and Khufukhaf had two sons - Khaf-Khufu and Sety-Ptah.[2]
Khufukhaf died during the reign of pharaoh Nyuserre Ini.[3]
Khufukhaf II was buried in mastaba G 7150 at Giza. In the tomb is mentioned his family - wife and sons. Persons who are also mentioned are Pasherimut, child of Tadihor-[...]etef and Pedimutemiteru; he was a scribe.[4]
