Die Perseiden [pɛɐ̯zeˈʔiːdn̩] (volkstümlich Laurentiustränen, Tränen des Laurentius) sind ein jährlich in der ersten Augusthälfte wiederkehrender Meteorstrom, der in den Tagen um den 12. August ein deutliches Maximum an Sternschnuppen aufweist. Sie haben eine hohe Geschwindigkeit und können als sogenannte Feuerkugeln sogar die Helligkeit der Venus erreichen. Der Radiant, der scheinbare Ursprung dieses Stroms, liegt im namensgebenden Sternbild Perseus, nahe der Grenze zur Kassiopeia.
