Fallen angels are angels who have been expelled from heaven. The literal term "fallen angel" does not appear in any Abrahamic religious text, but is used to describe angels cast out of heaven or angels who have sinned. Such angels often tempt humans to sin.
The idea of fallen angels derives from the Book of Enoch, a Jewish pseudepigraph, or the hypothesis that the "sons of God" (בני האלוהים) mentioned in Genesis 6:1-4 are angels. In the period immediately preceding the composition of the New Testament, some sects of Judaism, as well as many Christian church fathers, identified these same "sons of God" as fallen angels. During the late Second Temple period, biblical giants were sometimes seen as the monstrous offspring of fallen angels and human women. In such stories, God sends the Great Flood to purge the world of these creatures; their bodies are destroyed, but their particular souls survive, subsequently roaming the earth like demons. Rabbinic Judaism and Christian authorities after the third century rejected the Enochian writings and the notion of an illicit union between angels and women producing giants. Christian theology indicates that the sins of the fallen angels occurred before the beginning of human history. Accordingly, the fallen angels were identified with those led by Lucifer in rebellion against God, also equated with demons.

In the Books of Enoch, the first Book of Enoch devotes much of its attention to the fall of the Watchers.
