Urum (in greco moderno: Ουρούμ, turco e tataro di Crimea: Urum) è un termine un tempo utilizzato da alcuni popoli di lingua turca (turchi e Tatari di Crimea) per riferirsi ai Greci che vivevano negli stati ottomani, soprattutto nell'impero ottomano e in Crimea. Oggi il termine urum è utilizzato per designare esclusivamente i greci turcofoni e la loro lingua.
