This is a list of consorts of modern Egypt, the wives of the monarchs of the Muhammad Ali Dynasty who reigned over Egypt from 1805 to 1953. The Dynasty's rule came to end with the declaration of the Republic of Egypt on 18 June 1953, 11 months after the Egyptian Revolution of 1952. The wives of the Egyptian pretenders are titular queens.
Before Tewfik Pasha Egyptian rulers had harem (which means have more than one wife and several concubines). Women had two statuses in the harem of the Muhammad Ali dynasty. First are the legal wives with the title of Khanum (Hanim). Only four women can have this title at the same time. The second are concubines with the title of Kadin. They can later be raised to Khanum. There can virtually be an unlimited number of women who can enter the harem with this title. Women mentioned in the list are mainly with the title of Khanum.
