In Norse mythology, Ím or Imr is a giant and the son of Vafþrúðnir. According to stanza 5 of the poem Vafþrúðnismál from the Poetic Edda:
- "Then Óðinn went to try the wisdom
- of the all-wise giant [Vafthrudnir];
- to the hall he came which Im's father owned;
- Odin went inside."
- — Larrington trans.
Im is also mentioned in a list of giants in the Skáldskaparmál section of the Prose Edda by Snorri Sturluson.
