Ḫarapšili (or Ḫarapsili, Harapšili; "š" is pronounced as "s" in "sun") was a Hittite queen during the Old Kingdom of Hittites.
Ḫarapšili was probably a daughter of princess Ḫaštayara and a man called Maratti. Her grandfather was king Hattusili I and her brother was king Mursili I (c. 1556 – 1526 BC).
She married a cupbearer named Hantili I. He conspired with Zidanta I and assassinated Mursili, thereafter taking the throne.
The royal blood was preserved in the female line.
She was a mother of one daughter who married Zidanta who became a king.
Ḫarapšili died in Sugziya.
In one myth is mentioned "The Storm God of Queen Harapsili". This is mentioned in Hittite myths, book by Harry A. Hoffner. He is an American professor of Hittitology.
