In the biblical account of Noah's Ark, Ham fathered Canaan. Genesis 9:18 identifies Ham as the father of Canaan after the flood, while also naming Shem and Japheth as Noah's other sons.
The statement appears in the story that follows Noah's planting of a vineyard. Genesis describes Noah becoming drunk and an incident involving Ham, after which Noah pronounces a curse on Canaan. The passage specifically names Canaan, not Ham, as the person affected by the curse.
This detail has been the subject of extensive historical interpretation and serious misuse. Later readers sometimes called it the “curse of Ham,” but the biblical text's wording concerns Canaan. The passage has also been wrongly invoked to justify racial slavery; that interpretation is not a valid basis for treating the narrative as a racial explanation.
For a precise trivia answer, the genealogy is decisive: Ham is named as Canaan's father. This is a post-flood family detail connected to Noah's sons, not a description of one of the animals aboard the ark.
