In Norse mythology, Vár or Vór (Old Norse, meaning either "pledge" or "beloved") is a goddess associated with oaths and agreements. Vár is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources; the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson; and kennings found in skaldic poetry and a runic inscription. Scholars have proposed theories about the implications of the goddess.

Вар — асинья (одна из асов), в германо-скандинавской мифологии богиня истины. Она выслушивает и записывает клятвы и обещания людей, а также мстит тем, кто их нарушает. Также является богиней любовных клятв и брачных союзов. Её имя редко упоминается в скандинавских мифах.
