Henutmire (transliteration: ḥnw.t-mỉ-rꜤ, meaning: "Mistress like Re") was an ancient Egyptian Princess in the Nineteenth Dynasty and Queen of Pharaoh Ramesses II.
Henutmire is supposedly the third and youngest child of Seti I and Tuya, and the younger sister of Ramesses II and Tia. This theory is based on a statue of Queen Tuya, now in the Vatican. The statue shows Tuya with Henutmire, thus it is assumed that they were mother and daughter. However, she is nowhere mentioned as "King's Sister", a title which Princess Tia used, thus it is unclear whether she was a younger sister or a daughter of Ramesses II.
She is not attested in any procession of Ramesses II's daughters either, which is to be expected if she was. She married Ramesses II and became his Great Royal Wife, which seems to indicate that she did have a high position in the royal family. If she was his daughter, she was the fourth to do so, after Bintanath, Meritamen and Nebettawy. No children of Henutmire are known.
Henutmire is shown on statues of Ramesses from Abu Qir and Heliopolis. On a colossus from Hermopolis she is depicted together with Princess-Queen Bintanath. Both have the titles The Hereditary Princess, richly favoured, Mistress of the South and the North, King's Daughter, Great Royal Wife.
Henutmire died around Ramesses II's 40th regnal year, and was buried in her QV75 rock-cut tomb in the Valley of the Queens. Her tomb was robbed already in antiquity; the trough of her coffin was later used for the burial of priest-king Horsaiset in Medinet Habu. It is now in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

The statue of Queen Tuya, mother of Ramesses II, was originally dedicated to her husband Amenhotep III and later reused by Ramesses II. The statue also depicts Henutmire, a royal daughter or wife of Ramesses II, who was taken to Rome by Caligula.
Henutmire, die in der Vergangenheit als eine der Töchter von Ramses II. betrachtet wurde, gilt heute als eine Schwester des Pharaos, vielleicht Tochter desselben Vaters: Sethos I. Kaiser Caligula soll die Statue zusammen mit den Statuen von Ptolomäus II., Arsinoë II. und Drusilla- Arsinoë in die „Gärten des Sallust“ nach Rom gebracht haben.
