Demetra (in greco antico: Δημήτηρ, Dēmḕtēr) è una divinità della religione greca, figlia di Crono e Rea, che presiedeva la natura, i raccolti e le messi. Associata all'agricoltura, alle stagioni e alla legge sacra, lei e la figlia Persefone sono inoltre intimamente connesse con la religione misterica, e in particolare con i misteri eleusini. Nella mitologia romana la sua figura corrisponde a quella di Cerere, e fu anche spesso identificata con la dea di origine anatolica Cibele.
