Meritites IV (also known as Meritites II as she was the second queen by that name; fl. c. 2250 BC) was a queen consort from the Sixth Dynasty. She was believed to be a wife of Pepi I, but her title of King's Daughter of his body of Pepy-Mennefer (s3t-niswt-nt-kht.f-ppy-mn-nfr) is now understood to indicate that she was a daughter of Pepi I Meryre and wife of a king Neferkare, presumably Pepi II. One more evidence for that theory is that her name means "Beloved of her father".
