De negen muzen, Oudgrieks: Μοῦσαι, waren in de Griekse mythologie de godinnen van kunst en wetenschap. Zij waren het symbool van de inspiratie. Het begrip muze, dat tegenwoordig nog steeds wordt gebruikt in de betekenis van inspiratiebron, is hiervan afgeleid. Een tempel ter ere van de muzen heette in het Grieks mouseion. Daar is museum van afgeleid, maar ook muziek komt van de muzen.
