Enide () is a character in Arthurian romance. She is married to Erec in Chrétien de Troyes' Erec and Enide, and to Geraint in the Welsh romance of Geraint and Enid analogous to Chrétien's version. Some scholars believe the French and Welsh tales derive from a lost common source, but it seems more likely Geraint derives directly or indirectly from Erec, though Chrétien may have had a Welsh or Breton source.
