Wafilisti

Wafilisti (kwa Kiebrania: Plištim, "watu wa Plešt": jina hilo linapatikana mara 286 katika Biblia ya Kiebrania, kati yake mara 152 katika 1 Sam) walikuwa kabila la watu wa Ulaya Kusini Mashariki ambao walivuka Bahari ya Kati. 

Kisha kushindwa kuvamia Misri waliteka pwani ya Kanaani (1175 KK hivi) wakifaidika na silaha za chuma walizozitumia dhidi ya watu waliokuwa na zile za shaba tu, wakiwa wenyeji au Waisraeli.

Ingawa hawakuwa wengi, waliathiri sana nchi yao mpya, kiasi cha kuiachia jina la Palestina.

Habari nyingi juu yao zinapatikana katika Biblia.
