Rahonem (c. 2500 B.C.) was an Egyptian musician. She was the director of the female singers and tabour (drum) players in her temple.[1]

Rahonem was both the chief woman manager of the lesser wives and director of the female musical performers. She has the same title as that given to the priestess-musician.[1]
