A fénix (português europeu) ou fênix, fênice (português brasileiro) (em grego clássico: ϕοῖνιξ) é um pássaro da mitologia grega que, quando morria, entrava em auto-combustão e, passado algum tempo, ressurgia das próprias cinzas. Outra característica da fénix é sua força, que lhe permite carregar cargas muito pesadas enquanto voa, havendo lendas nas quais chega a carregar elefantes. Finalmente, pode-se transformar numa ave de fogo.
