Die Brahmanen (Sanskrit: ब्राह्मण, brāhmaṇa) sind im indischen Kastensystem die Angehörigen der obersten Kaste (Varna). Im Hinduismus ist es Vorrecht und Pflicht der Brahmanen, Lehrer des Veda und Gelehrte zu sein. Bis heute stellen hauptsächlich sie die Priester. Daher war „Brahmane“ auch ein religiöser Titel. Im modernen Indien üben sie jeden Beruf aus.
