Devi ('Gudinnan') eller Mahadevi ('den stora gudinnan') är namnet på hinduismens kvinnliga gudar då de sammanfattas i en enda gudinna. Inom hinduismen, särskilt inom shaktismen, betraktas alla kvinnliga gudar i grunden som olika aspekter av samma gudinna, som alltså sammanfattas under namnet Devi. På samma sätt sammanfattas alla manliga gudar i Deva.
