Nefermaat II (fl. c. 2550 BC) was a member of the Egyptian royal family during the 4th Dynasty and vizier of Khafre (his cousin).
Nefermaat was a son of a King's Daughter Nefertkau I and a grandson of Sneferu.
Nefermaat was buried in mastaba G 7060 at Giza. His tomb is part of a group of tombs including those of Nefertkau I (G 7050) and his son Sneferukhaf (G 7070). Nefermaat's tomb is located near the Pyramid of Khufu, who may not only have been his uncle, but also his father (according to George Andrew Reisner). This last point is rejected by Strudwick and Baud. He was nevertheless considered close enough family to be elevated to the vizierate, a title reserved to close family member during the 4th Dynasty.
