Lathum is a village in the municipality of Zevenaar in the province of Gelderland, the Netherlands.

The village was first mentioned between 1294 and 1295 as Latheym, and means "settlement of Laeta (lit: serf)".{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/lathum |title=Lathum - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=26 March 2022}} Lathum developed near the Castle Bahr en Lathum. The castle was first mentioned in 1243, and destroyed in 1495. In the early 17th century, a manor house was built in its place. The Dutch Reformed Church probably started as a chapel. It was built in the late-15th century and has 14th century elements.{{cite web|url=https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu05_01/sten009monu05_01_0135.php |title=Lathum |author=Ronald Stenvert & Sabine Broekhoven |year=2000 |publisher=Waanders |location=Zwolle |isbn=90 400 9406 3 |language=nl |access-date=26 March 2022}} In 1840, it was home to 242 people.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/lathum |title=Lathum |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=26 March 2022 |language=nl}} In the 1990s, Riverparc was constructed on the location of the former brickworks.
