Der Phönix (griechisch Φοῖνιξ Phoînix, von altägyptisch Benu: ‚Der Wiedergeborene/Der neugeborene Sohn‘; lateinisch Phoenix) ist ein mythischer Vogel, der am Ende seines Lebenszyklus verbrennt oder stirbt, um aus dem verwesenden Leib oder aus seiner Asche wieder neu zu erstehen. Diese Vorstellung findet sich heute noch in der Redewendung „Wie Phönix aus der Asche“ für etwas, das schon verloren geglaubt war, aber in neuem Glanz wieder erscheint.
