Anem or Anim was a Levitical city in Israel allocated to the Gershonites, according to the Hebrew Bible, from the land of the tribe of Issachar () (6:58 in some Bibles). In the parallel location in the Book of Joshua, the name En-gannim or Engannim appears, and the two names may refer to the same town. and William F. Albright suggested that Anem was the same location as En-gannim, the two spellings being variants of a single original site ʕen-ʕonam.William F. Albright (1926). "The Topography of the Tribe of Issachar". In Zeitschrift für die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft. p. 231. But Hagen Martino (in 1907), claimed that Anem is 'probably a distinct site', near En-gannim.e.g., Martino (Ed.). Atlas Biblicus. Continens Duas Et Viginti Tabulas Quibus Accedit. Index topographicus in Universam Geographam Biblicam, Paris (Suptibus P. Lethielleux, 1907). Quote: "urbs tribus Issachar, fortasse eadem atque Engannim (Djenin) vel probabilius urbs distincta, vicus ‘Anim inter aquilonem et occidentum ab Engannim.
The location of Anem is unknown. The modern settlement Ganim, near Jenin, was named after the biblical Anem.
