The Book of Nehemiah (Hebrew נחמיה; Greek Νεεμίας; Latin Liber Nehemiae) is a text contained in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. It is written in Hebrew and, in Latin, Liber Nehemiae.

The book is written in Hebrew and, according to the hypothesis most shared by scholars, its final editing, the work of unknown authors, is placed between the late fourth and mid-third century BC in Judea. It consists of 13 chapters describing the reforming activity of Nehemiah in Jerusalem after his return from the Babylonian Exile, in particular the reconstruction of the city walls (about 445-432 BC).
