Ḥammām (in arabo: حمّام‎) indica in lingua araba, e in molte altre lingue che hanno incamerato parti più o meno cospicue di lessico arabo, il complesso termale in cui i musulmani effettuano il ghuṣl, o lavacro maggiore, o il wuḍūʾ, o lavacro minore, per conseguire la ṭahāra, o purità rituale, indispensabile per poter poi adempiere all'obbligo canonico della ṣalāt giornaliera.
