A dunam or dönüm, dunum, donum is a unit of area. It is not an SI unit.

Originally, a dönüm, from the Turkish dönmek (to turn), was the amount of land one man could till in one day. It was not precisely defined and varied considerably from place to place. It is still used, in various standardized versions, in many countries formerly part of the Ottoman empire.
