thumb|right|220px|Asmodeus as depicted in Collin de Plancy's [[Dictionnaire Infernal]] Asmodeus (; , Asmodaios) or Ashmedai (; ; ; see below for other variations) is a king of demons in the legends of Solomon and the constructing of Solomon's Temple.
He is featured variously in Talmudic stories where he is the king of the shedim. The Quran refers to a "puppet" in the Story of Solomon in Surah Ṣād verses 30-40, which is according to the mufassirūn (authorized exegetes of the Quran) referring to the demon-king Asmodeus (Sakhr).
