Ātman (Atma, आत्मा, आत्मन्) is a Sanskrit word which means "essence, breath, soul." It is derived from the Proto-Indo-European word *h₁eh₁tmṓ (a root meaning "breath" with Germanic cognates: Dutch adem, Old High German atum "breath," Modern German atmen "to breathe" and Atem "respiration, breath", Old English eþian). It can also be linked to the Greek word "atmos", from which the word atmosphere is derived.

Ātman, sometimes spelled without a diacritic as atman in scholarly literature, means "real self" of the individual, "innermost essence", and soul. Atman, in Hinduism, is considered as eternal, imperishable, beyond time, "not the same as body or mind or consciousness, but... something beyond which permeates all these". In Advaita vedanta, it is "pure, undifferentiated, self-shining consciousness," the witness-consciousness which observes all phenomena yet is not touched by it.

Atman is a metaphysical and spiritual concept for Hindus, often discussed in their scriptures with the concept of Brahman.
