Edom (en hebreo, אֱדוֹם‎ ʼĔḏôm(tiberiano), Edom, que significa 'rojo'; en asirio: Udumi; en siriaco: ܐܕܘܡ, ʼedōm) o Idumea (en griego, Ἰδουμαία, Idoumaía; en latín, Idūmaea) era una región del Levante mediterráneo, ubicada al sur de Judea y del mar Muerto, habitada tradicionalmente por el pueblo semita de los edomitas o idumeos. La mayor parte de la información que se tiene sobre este pueblo proviene de la Biblia y es mencionado en una lista del faraón egipcio Seti I (~1215 a. C.), así como en la crónica de una campaña de Ramsés III (1186-1155 a. C.). Se originó durante el Bronce Reciente gracias al cataclismo de los pueblos del mar. Cuenta Estrabón que los idumeos eran nabateos segregados por disensiones. Esta información también se puede deducir de la Historia natural de Plinio el Viejo.
