Atakhebasken (Akhetbasaken) was a Nubian queen dated to the Twenty-fifth Dynasty of Egypt. She was the Great Royal Wife of Pharaoh Taharqa.

Burial

Atakhebasken is mainly known from her tomb in Nuri (Nu. 36). The finds from the tomb include: a shawabti, canopics which are now in Boston, and an altar now in the Meroe Museum in Khartoum. Her tomb was enlarged after the chapel had already been built.
