Yuyu was an ancient Egyptian High Priest of Osiris at Abydos, during the reign of pharaohs Ramesses II and possibly Merenptah of the 19th Dynasty.
He was the son of the High Priest of Osiris Hori, himself son of the High Priest of Osiris Wenennefer.[1] His son and successor was Siese. Among Yuyu's monuments, there is a granite statue depicting him while holding a naos with the god Osiris, now exhibited in The Louvre (A 69).[2]
