A major prophet is a book in the Major Prophets section of the Jewish Hebrew Bible known to Christians as the Old Testament. These are (in order of occurrence in the Bible):
- Isaiah
- Jeremiah
- Lamentations, also known as the Lamentations of Jeremiah
- Baruch (deuterocanonical; may be placed before Lamentations.) This work is not incorporated into the Jewish Hebrew Bible.
- Ezekiel
- Daniel (not counted among the books of the Prophets in the Hebrew Bible).
The term "major" refers to their length. See Minor prophet for shorter prophecies in the Bible.
