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