In Greek mythology, Eunomia () was a minor but important goddess of law and legislation and her name can be translated as "good order", "governance according to good laws", as well as the spring-time goddess of green pastures (eû means "well, good" in Greek, and νόμος, nómos, means "law", while pasturelands are called nomia). She was by most accounts the daughter of Themis and Zeus. Her opposite number was Dysnomia (Lawlessness).
