Ramiel (Imperial Aramaic: רַעַמְאֵל, Hebrew: רַעַמְאֵל Raʿamʾēl; Greek: Ῥαμιήλ) is a fallen Watcher angel. He is mentioned in Chapter 6 of the apocryphal Book of Enoch as one of the 19 Watchers that sinned and rebelled against God by mating with human women and creating offspring called Nephilim.

The name Raʿamʾēl means "God has thundered" from the Hebrew elements Raʿam "thunder" and El, "God".

He is sometimes conflated with the angel Remiel (described below), who is separately named as a holy angel in some versions of Chapter 2 of the Book of Enoch, and who is in turn sometimes conflated with the angel Jeremiel (q.v.).
