In Gallo-Roman religion, Sequana is the goddess of the river Seine, particularly the springs at the source of the Seine.

The main sites dedicated to her are found in northern Burgundy, especially at the source of the Seine, where archeological excavations have unearthed a temple complex and over a thousand votive offerings.
