ʿAthtar (moabitisch ʿštr; ugaritisch und altsüdarabisch ʿṯtr, hadramitisch auch ʿṯtr-m oder ʿs3tr-m; frühnordarabisch ʿṯtr, ʿtr, kurz ʿ(t); auch Attar) war ein westsemitischer Gott. Sein Name entspricht dem der Göttin Astarte bzw. Ištar, dementsprechend stellt er wohl die Vergötterung des Planeten Venus dar.
