Visnù (è usato anche l'adattamento parziale Visnu; devanagari: विष्णु, Viṣṇu; adattato con grafia inglese in Vishnu) è una divinità maschile vedica che nei secoli appena precedenti la nostra era assorbì altre figure divine come Puruṣa, Prajāpati, Nārāyaṇa e Kṛṣṇa, acquisendo, nella tradizione epica del Mahābhārata, la figura divina protettrice del mondo e del Dharma e, nella letteratura religiosa post-epica, la volontà di intervenire per proteggere i suoi devoti. Assorbendo l'antico culto di Vasudeva divenne uno dei culti principali dell'induismo conosciuto come visnuismo (o vaisnavismo, dall'aggettivo sanscrito vaiṣṇava, "devoto a Visnù").
