Ethem (Jaredite king)

Ethem (Deseret: 𐐀𐐛𐐇𐐣), in the beliefs of the Latter Day Saint movement (Mormons), was a Jaredite king, the son of Ahah. Information about him is found in the Book of Ether, a part of the sacred scriptures of Mormonism. His reign belongs to the later period of Jaredite history and was reportedly marked by wickedness and the activities of prophets calling for repentance. Ethem's rule lasted until his death.

The figure of Ethem is the subject of theological speculation and is sometimes referenced by Mormon apologists. Additionally, the name Ethem appears among Māori who follow Mormonism.
