Wadjmose was an ancient Egyptian prince of the 18th dynasty; a son of Pharaoh Thutmose I.

He is likely to have been born a few years before his father ascended the throne. He had a brother named Amenmose; it is disputed who their mother was. If they were born to Queen Ahmose, they were full brothers of Hatshepsut, if their mother was Queen Mutnofret, they were full brothers of Thutmose II.

Wadj is depicted in the El-Kab tomb of himself and Amenmose's tutor Paheri, as sitting on Paheri's lap. He predeceased his father. A chapel for him was erected probably during the reign of Thutmose II between the places where later the mortuary temple of Thutmose IV and the Ramesseummarker were built. A statue of Mutnofret was found here, making it likely that she was his mother..

His name occurs written in a cartouche, which is quite rare for princes.
