Jonah or Jonas (Arabic: Yunus) is the name given in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh/Old Testament) to a prophet of the northern kingdom of Israel in about the 8th century BCE. He is the eponymous central character in the Book of Jonah, famous for being swallowed by a fish or a whale, depending on translation.

The biblical story of Jonah is repeated, with a few notable differences, in the Qur'an.
