Saint Naum of Preslav ({{lang-bg|Свети Наум Преславски, Sveti Naum Preslavski, Template:IPA-bg), also known as Saint Naum of Ohrid (Template:Lang-bg) (c. 830 – December 23, 910) was a medieval Bulgarian saint, writer and teacher, and a Slavic enlighter. Information about his life before his return from Great Moravia to Bulgaria is scarce. According to the hagiography of Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius by Saint Clement of Ohrid, Naum took part in their mission to Great Moravia and in 867 or 868 became a priest in Rome.
In 885 Naum was expelled from Great Moravia after spending some time in prison for his resistance to the German clergy there. The same or the following year Naum reached Pliska together with Clement of Ohrid, Angelarius and maybe Gorazd (according to other sources, Gorazd was already dead by that time).
Naum was one of the founders of the Pliska Literary School (later Preslav Literary School) where he worked between 886 and 893. The most reliable first-hand account of the activities at the time in the Pliska Literary School is undeniably "An Account of Letters" (Old Church Slavonic: О писмєньхъ, O pismenech), one of the most admired and popular works of literature written in Old Church Slavonic. The work was supposedly written shortly after the Preslav Ecclesiastical People's Council in 893. The piece calls for the creation of a Slavic alphabet to be used with the Slavic language by all Slavs. Therefore, the works of the Pliska Literary School and later the Ohrid Literary School are important for all Slavs.
After Clement was ordained bishop of Drembica (Velika) in 893, Naum continued Clement’s work at the Ohrid Literary School. In 905 Naum founded a monastery on the shores of Lake Ohrid, which later received his name. Since Naum's birthplace is unknown, and he was buried in the monastery he built in Ohrid, he is known as St. Naum of Ohrid.
St. Naum Peak on Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica is named for Saint Naum.
