丰裕之角（Cornucopia, Horn of Plenty、又称作丰穰之角、丰盛角、丰茂角或聚宝角）是食物和丰饶的象征，该起源追溯到公元前5世纪。 在希腊神话中，丰裕之角由母山羊—阿玛尔忒娅的角而闻名。当宙斯还在幼年时期，克里特岛上的宁芙女仙们养育着他，还用母山羊阿玛尔忒亚的奶和蜂蜜喂养他。有一次，母山羊的一只角被树枝给勾断了，一个女仙捡起了这只羊角，用鲜花和树叶将羊角包裹起来，并在角里装满了各种新鲜水果，把它送给了宙斯。宙斯为了感谢女仙的照顾，又把它转赠给了养育他的女仙们，并对她们许诺说，她们可以从这只羊角里倾倒出她们希望得到的任何东西，而且可以永远取之无尽、用之不竭。 在艺术作品中，大地女神盖亚、农业女神得墨忒耳、罗马女神的刻瑞斯和阿布恩丹提亚等丰裕神都持有丰裕之角。
