Thmuis (/ˈθmjuː.ᵻs/; Greek: Θμοῦις; Arabic: Tell El-Timai‎‎) is a city in Lower Egypt, located on the canal east of the Nile, between its Tanitic and Mendesian branches.

During the Ptolemaic period, Thmuis succeeded Djedet as the capital of Lower Egypt's 16th nome of Kha (Herodotus (II, 166)). The two cities are only several hundred meters apart. Ptolemy also states that the city was the capital of the Mendesian nome.
