Mehet či Mehit byla staroegyptská lví bohyně, manželka boha Onhureta.[1] Podle legendy se Onhuretovi podařilo při jednom z lovů v Núbijské poušti odchytit živou lvici, kterou donesl do svého paláce. Ukázalo se ale, že lvice je vtělením bohyně Mehet. Onhuret bohyni následně pojal za manželku.[1] Ta jej pak doprovázela na všech válečných výpravách a v podobě lvice bojovala po jeho boku.[1]
Uctívána byla v Ceneji, Kom Ombu a Edfu.[1]

The patron deities of ancient Samannud, the war and air god Onuris-Shu and his lioness-headed mate, Mehyet, are shown enthroned on the outer face of this block. Originally, a king would have stood before them presenting offerings. Both gods hold an ankh (life symbol) and a scepter: his is the was scepter (symbolizing prosperity and dominion), hers is a papyrus scepter. On the inner face of the block, a king presents a floral offering to the divine couple, but only part of Onuris-Shu's figure remains.
