Der Stier (lateinisch Taurus; astronomisches Zeichen ♉) ist ein Sternbild des nördlichen Winterhimmels. Es liegt beidseits der Ekliptik; die Sonne durchwandert es Ende Mai und Anfang Juni. Das Tierkreiszeichen Stier geht auf dieses Sternbild zurück, hat sich aber seit der Antike wegen der Präzession um etwa 30° verschoben.
