Joachim (; "Yəhōyāqīm", "he whom Yahweh has set up"; Greek Ἰωακείμ "Iōākeím") was, according to Christian tradition, the husband of Saint Anne and the father of Mary, the mother of Jesus. The story of Joachim and Anne first appears in the apocryphal Gospel of James. His feast day is 26 July, a date shared with Saint Anne.
