Pinedjem II was a High Priest of Amun at Thebes in Ancient Egypt from 990 BC to 969 BC and was the "de facto" ruler of the south of the country. He was married to his sister Istemkheb, both children of Menkheperre, the High Priest of Amun at Thebes and also to his niece Nesikhons, the daughter of his brother Smendes II.

When Pinedjem II died, his mummy, along with those of his wives and at least one daughter were laid to rest in the cache at Deir el-Bahri, above the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut. It was during his reign that the mummies of other previous Theban-based rulers, including the much earlier 18th- and 19th-dynasty pharaohs Ahmose I, Amenhotep I, Thutmose I, Thutmose II, Thutmose III, Ramesses I, Seti I, Ramesses II, and Ramesses IX, as well as Psusennes II's near contemporary Pinedjem I, were gathered together and also laid in this tomb, which was revealed in 1881.
