The intercalary month or epagomenal days of the Egyptian, Coptic, and Ethiopian calendars are a period of five days in common years and six days in leap years in addition to those calendars' 12 standard months, sometimes reckoned as their thirteenth month.

Egyptian and Ethiopian leap days occur in the year preceding Gregorian leap years.
