Falacer, or more fully dīvus pater falacer, was an ancient Italic god, according to Varro. Hartung is inclined to consider him an epithet of Jupiter, since falandum, according to Festus, was the Etruscan name for "heaven."
Although his origin is obscure, he was at one time considered important enough to have his own flamen.
