Abiezer or Abieezer is the name of three Biblical characters. The name means "father of help" i.e., helpful. The characters are:

• The prince of the tribe of Dan at the time of the Exodus (Numbers 1:12).
• The second of the three sons of Hammoleketh, the sister of Gilead, also called Jeezer (Numbers 26:30). He was the grandson of Manasseh (1 Chronicles 7:18). From his family Gideon sprang (Joshua 17:2; Judges 6:34 and 8:2). In Judges 6:15, Gideon describes his clan, the Abiezrites, as "the weakest in [the tribe of] Manasseh" .
• One of King David's thirty warriors (2 Samuel 23:27; 1 Chronicles 27:12) a Benjamite from Anathoth.
