Jehozadak is a man in the Bible, his name means Jehovah-justified. He was the son of the high priest Seraiah at the time of the Babylonian exile (597-581 BCE, 1 Chronicles 6:14, 15).

He was carried into captivity by Nebuchadnezzar II (reigned c. 605-562 BCE), and probably died in Babylon. He was the father of Jeshua/Joshua, who returned with Zerubbabel. Jehozadak went into exile during the captivity. (1 Chronicles 6:15)
