Phut or Put (Hebrew: פּוּט Pūṭ; Septuagint Greek Φουδ Phoudh) is the third son of Ham (one of the sons of Noah) in the biblical Table of Nations (Genesis 10:6; cf. 1 Chronicles 1:8).
The name Put (or Phut) is used in the Bible for Ancient Libya, but some scholars propose the Land of Punt known from Ancient Egyptian annals.

Ham (in Hebrew: חָם), according to the Table of Nations in the Book of Genesis, was the second son of Noah and the father of Cush, Mizraim, Phut and Canaan.
Ham's descendants are interpreted by Josephus and others as having populated Africa. The Bible refers to Egypt as "the land of Ham" in Psalm 78:51; 105:23, 27; 106:22; 1 Chronicles 4:40.
