Semat (fl. c. 2950 BC) was an Ancient Egyptian Queen, who was a wife of the King Den. She was buried near him in Abydos.
Very little is known about Semat besides a stela discovered near Den's tomb in Abydos. She held the titles of

M33.t-Ḥr.(w) Maat-Hor "She who sees Horus" |
Rnm.t-Stš

Both of these titles were associated with queens in ancient Egypt.[2] Semat was not the only woman identified from funerary stela. Other women whose funerary stela were found near Den's tomb are Seshemetka and Serethor.[3]
The stela was in the Egyptian Museum of Berlin, but was destroyed during World War 2.[4]
