Hashemites, Hashimites, or Hashimids, may refer to:
- Banu Hashim, the descendants of Hashim ibn Abd Manaf.
- The Hashimiyya, a sub-sect of the Kaysanite Shia that acknowledged the Imamate of Abu Hashim ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyah
- The Sharifs of Mecca, the rulers of Mecca from the 10th century until 1924. As descendants of Hasan ibn Ali they belonged to the Banu Hashim.
- The Hashemite royal family of Hejaz (1916–1925), Iraq (1921–1958), and Jordan (1921–present). As descendants of Sharif Hussein ibn Ali they belong to the Dhawu Awn, a branch of the Sharifs of Mecca, and therefore also of the Banu Hashim.
