Adah (עָדָה "Ornament"/"Dawn", Standard Hebrew ʿAda, Tiberian Hebrew ʿĀḏāh) is the name of two women in the Book of Genesis.
- The first wife named for Lamech, descendant of Cain.
- The first wife of Esau, the daughter of Elon the Hittite (Gen. 36:2,4), called also Bashemath (26:34) (according to Easton's bible dictionary). She was the mother of Eliphaz, Esau's firstborn, and the ancestress of the Edomites.
