Le bichelamar, aussi appelé bichlamar ou bislama (autonyme : bislama, /bislaˈma/), est un créole à base lexicale anglaise, parlé au Vanuatu (anciennes Nouvelles-Hébrides). C'est la langue véhiculaire de cet archipel qui compte, par ailleurs, environ cent-trente langues vernaculaires. Depuis son indépendance en 1980, c'est aussi l'une des trois langues officielles de la République du Vanuatu, à égalité avec le français et l'anglais.
