Zophar ( Ṣōp̄ar, "chirping"; "rising early"; also Tzofar) the Naamathite is one of the three friends of Job who visit him during his illness in the Book of Job (), Hebrew Bible / Old Testament. "Naamathite" (na'-a-ma-thit) is a Gentile name, suggesting he was from a city called Naamah, perhaps in Arabia.
