Atum (auch Tem, Tem-Re, Atum-Re, Temu, Tema) war die altägyptische große Urgottheit aus Iunu (Heliopolis). Er war eine männliche Schöpfer- und Himmelsgottheit. In den Pyramidentexten des Alten Reichs ist Atum bereits als „Vorderster der großen Neunheit“ ebenso belegt wie auch sein Beiname „Der sich selbst erschaffen hat“.
