TT217, or Tomb of Ipuy, is the tomb of the ancient Egyptian artisan Ipuy and members of his family in Deir el-Medina, near modern Luxor, Egypt. Ipuy (also transcribed as Apy) was a sculptor active in the reign of Ramesses II of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt.[1]

TT217 is situated on the upper terrace in the western cemetery of the ancient workmen's village of Deir el-Medina. The complex consists of a chapel within a walled courtyard and at least 10 subterranean rooms. The chapel's decoration depicts craftsmen at work in addition to daily life scenes.[2]

The tomb was first published by Jean-Vincent Scheil in 1894 but its location was later lost. The tomb was rediscovered by Arthur Weigall in his 1911-12 excavation season and subsequently excavated by the Metropolitan Museum in 1912 and 1920, and by Bernard Bruyère in the mid-1920s.[2][3] Since 2020 Kathrin Gabler has carried out further investigation and documentation of the tomb.[2]
