Tinjis (Berber languages: ⵜⵉⵏⵊⴰ, romanized: Tinja) (also called Tinga, and also spelled as Tingis) was a Libyan queen as the wife of King Antaeus in Berber and Greek mythology,[1] and some kind of a female deity.

Tinjis' husband was the son of Poseidon and Gaia.[2] Tinjis bore Antaeus daughters named Alceis or Barce[3] and probably Iphinoe who mothered Palaemon by the hero Heracles.[4]
