In Roman mythology, Aurora (/ɔːˈrɔːrə/ or /əˈrɔːrə/; Latin: Aurōra, Latin pronunciation: [au̯ˈroːra]) is the goddess and personification of the dawn. Aurora is the Latin word for dawn, and she appeared frequently in Latin literature.

Like the Greek Eos and Rigvedic Ushas, Aurora continues the name of an earlier Indo-European dawn goddess, Hausos.
