The Emites ( or ) or Emim ( ʾĒmīm) was the Moabite name for Repha'im.

They are mentioned in Genesis 14:5 as having been defeated at Shaveh-kiriathaim by an invading coalition of kings led by the Elamite King Chedorlaomer, and in the Book of Deuteronomy, chapter 2, as having been a powerful and populous people, "as tall as the Anakim". They were defeated by the Moabites, who occupied their land.
