Der Name Edom (hebräisch אֱדוֹם) bezeichnet sowohl einen Stammesverband, der seit der späten Eisenzeit östlich der Jordansenke siedelte, als auch das von diesem bewohnte Land selbst (vgl. Idumäa) sowie seinen Stammvater Esau. Als Parallelbezeichnung wird Seir verwendet. Zusammen mit den Aramäern, Midianitern, Israeliten und Joktanitern werden die Edomiter zu den Hebräern gerechnet.
