The names of the two female rulers of Egypt are: Hatshepsut (born c.1508BC; reigned 1479-58BC) and Cleopatra (born 69BC; reigned 51-30BC).

When mentioning ancient Egyptian female rulers, the two names above are the first to come to mind. However, there were several other women who ruled and were more important. There was Ahhotep, who was instrumental in driving the Hyksos from Egypt and acted a regent for her son, Ahmose I. Ahmose in turn, considered his wife, Ahmose-Nefertari a co-ruler. She is also thought to have been regent for her son, Amenhotep I. Nefertiti, the wife of Akhenaten, was considered his co-ruler and some scholars think that she ruled alone after her husband's death.
