In ancient Greek religion and mythology, the Moirai ()often known in English as the Fateswere the personifications of destiny. In certain accounts, they were considered as three sisters: Clotho (the spinner), Lachesis (the allotter), and Atropos (the inevitable, a metaphor for death), though their number and names varied over time according to the author. Their Roman equivalent is the Parcae.

The name itself is attested only from one inscription, where it accompanies that of Lenus Mars:
