Aurvandill (Old Norse) is a figure in Germanic mythology. In Norse mythology, the god Thor tosses Aurvandill's toe – which had frozen while the thunder god was carrying him in a basket across the Élivágar rivers – into the sky to form a star called '''' ('Aurvandill's toe'). In wider medieval Germanic-speaking cultures, he was known as ''''' in Old English, in Old High German, in Lombardic, and possibly as auzandil () in Gothic. An Old Danish latinized version, Horwendillus''' (Ørvendil), is also the name given to the father of Amlethus'' (Amleth) in Saxo Grammaticus' Gesta Danorum.
