The Rambam (which is a Hebrew acronym) is identical with Rabbi Moses Maimonides (1135-1204), a rabbi and prolific author of important Torah-works. His magnum opus was the Mishneh Torah ("Yad Hachazakah"), a codex of Jewish law upon which all later such works are based to a large extent.

If someone says "a Rambam," it could mean a volume of the above set of books, since we often refer to a rabbi by the name of his writings.
