Doulos (Ancient Greek: δοῦλος, Greek: δούλος, Linear B: do-e-ro) is a Greek masculine noun meaning "slave". Doulos may refer to:

• A slave (δοῦλος) in ancient Greece; see also Slavery in the New Testament and Slavery in antiquity. In the Bible, it is also referred to as "servant," indicating the posture of the Christian towards Jesus Christ. In 2 Corinthians 4:5 (ESV), it says, "For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake." The word "servants" directly translates to doulos. A “servant” or “slave” of Christ Jesus means that one has total devotion, completely at the disposal of God. We see in the Old Testament that people like Moses and Elijah are noted as “servants" as well. It is seen as a positive posture towards God.
