The Akhdām (; singular: Khadami), are an Arabic-speaking ethnic or socio-economic group whose members live in Yemen. Although the Muhamashīn are Arabic-speaking Muslims just like most other Yemenis, they are considered to be at the very bottom of the supposedly abolished caste ladder, they are socially segregated from other Yemenis and they are mostly confined to menial jobs in the country's major cities. According to unofficial estimates, the Muhamashīn number is between 500,000 and 3,500,000 individuals.

Yemenis, Yemenites (), or South Arabians are an ethnographic group indigenous to Yemen.
