Pithom (Ancient Egyptian: pr-jtm; Hebrew: פיתום‎; Ancient Greek: Ἡρώ Hero or Ἡρώων πόλις Heroon polis) was an ancient city of Egypt. Multiple references in ancient Greek, Roman, and Hebrew Bible sources exist for this city, but its exact location remains somewhat uncertain. A number of scholars identified it as the later archaeological site of Tell El Maskhuta. Others identified it as the earlier archaeological site of Tell El Retabeh.
