Baal Hadad is the ancient Northwest Semitic god of storms, thunder, rain, and agricultural fertility. The name combines Hadad (his specific proper name as a weather deity) with Baal, a title meaning "Lord".

He was central to the pantheons of ancient Canaan, Ugarit, and Syria. He is known for defeating Yam (the chaotic sea god), and later struggling against Mot (the god of death and sterility).

He is equivalent to the Mesopotamian god Adad/Ishkur, the Greek Zeus, and the Roman Jupiter.
