Haman County (Haman-gun) is a county in South Gyeongsang Province, South Korea. The local government is seated in Gaya-eup. The county magistrate is Seok Gyu Jin.
In the early Common Era, Haman was the seat of Ara Gaya, a leading state of the Gaya confederacy. Many relics from this period are still preserved in the county. After the fall of Gaya, Haman was absorbed into Silla as Asirang-gun; in 757 its name was changed to Haman-gun, which it bears today.
Haman is divided into 9 myeon and 1 eup, as follows:
- Gaya-eup
- Beopsu-myeon
- Chilbuk-myeon
- Chilseo-myeon
- Chilwon-myeon
- Daesan-myeon
- Gunbuk-myeon
- Haman-myeon
- Sanin-myeon
- Yeohang-myeon
