Iuput, designated Iuput A, was High Priest of Amun from 944 to 924 BCE, during the reigns of his father Shoshenq I and his brother Osorkon I.

Iuput held a variety of titles including High Priest of Amun, generalissimo and army-leader and Governor of Upper Egypt.

It is not known who Iuput's mother was, but it is assumed that Lady Tashepenbast was his sister. Nimlot B and Osorkon I were (half-)brothers of Iuput. Iuput's daughter by an unknown wife was named Nesikhonsupakhered. She was the wife of Djedkhonsiufankh, who was a fourth priest of Amun.

Presumably upon Iuput's demise, his brother Osorkon I appointed his own son Shoshenq Q as the new High Priest of Amun at Thebes.
