The Yomut (Turkmen: Ýomut, Persian: یَمود/یُمود ) is a large ethnographic group within the Turkmen people and historically one of the five major tribes of Turkmenistan. The Yomut have maintained a distinct cultural identity and continue to live primarily in Turkmenistan, Iran, and Uzbekistan.
The earliest depictions and descriptions of the Yomut date back to the 16th century. The first official guidebook about the Yomut and the neighboring ethnic groups was written by Clement Augustus de Bode, titled '''On the Yamud and Goklan Tribes of Turkomania.'''
