Amanipilade (died circa 350 AD), was a queen regnant of Kush. She was the final queen regnant of the city of Meroë in between circa 308 to 320,[1]
Amanipilade is solely attested from a meroitic inscription on a funerary inscription of Shiye[2] found in Meroë.[3] Her parents names also mentioned there, her father; Tekye and mother; Makehanye.
She likely died around 350 AD.[4] Much like other Kushite rulers her name incorporated that of the god Amun.[4]
