Kenan (also spelled Qenan, Kaynan or Cainan) (Hebrew: קֵינָן‎, Modern: Qēnan, Tiberian: Qēnān; Arabic: كِنَاْنْ, romanized: Kinān; Biblical Greek: Καϊνάμ, romanized: Kaïnám) is an Antediluvian patriarch first mentioned in the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible.

The Sefer ha-Yashar describes Cainan, the possessor of great astrological wisdom, which had been inscribed on tables of stone, as the son of Seth; i.e., the antediluvian Kenan grandson of Seth according to the Bible. He is revered within Islamic tradition as well.
