Ahab (אַחְאָב, „Bruder des Vaters“) war von etwa 871 bis 852 v. Chr., seit dem Tod seines Vaters Omri, König des Nordreiches Israel. Ahab heiratete Isebel, die Tochter des phönizischen Königs Etbaal von Sidon, wohl aus politischen Gründen. Aus der Ehe gingen die Söhne Ahasja und Joram sowie die Tochter Atalja hervor.
