Deméter (em grego: Δημήτηρ, transl.: Dēmétēr) ou Demetra (em grego: Δήμητρα, transl.: Démētra), na mitologia grega, é a deusa da colheita e da agricultura, uma olímpica, filha de Cronos e Reia. É também deusa da terra cultivada e das estações do ano. É propiciadora do trigo, planta símbolo da civilização. Na qualidade de deusa da agricultura, fez várias e longas viagens com Dioniso ensinando os homens a cuidarem da terra e das plantações. Em Roma, onde se chamava Ceres, seu festival era chamado Cereália, sendo celebrado na primavera. Sua primeira filha foi Perséfone, que teve com Zeus. Perséfone era a maior alegria da mãe! Quando Hades a sequestrou, Deméter fez as plantas pararem de crescer por todo o mundo, e disse que as plantas só voltariam a crescer quando sua amada filha voltasse. Depois de muito tempo, Hades e Deméter fizeram um acordo… Perséfone ficaria com a mãe 3/4 do ano e ficaria com Hades 1/4 do ano. Deméter é descrita como "a loira Deméter" na "Ilíada" de Homero.
