''Chochmei Umos HaOlam'' is the hebrew term used by Maimonides in the Laws of Kings 8:11. It is generally translated as "Wise of the Nations". It indicates a non-Jew who has taken upon himself the observance of [[Noahide Law]], but observes it for their own rational reasons.  Maimonides seems to imply that ''Chochmei Umos HaOlam'' do not have a portion in the world to come, although he doesn't actual say that.  This is contrasted with the ''[[Chasidei Umos HaOlam]]'' who observes the seven laws because it revealed through [[Moshe Rabbenu]] as explained by Jewish tradition.
