Vulcain (Vulcanus en latin) est le dieu romain du feu, des volcans, de la forge, et le patron des forgerons. Il incarne non seulement le feu bienfaisant, source des industries humaines, mais aussi le feu destructeur dont il peut précipiter ou suspendre le cours : sous le surnom de mitis, le doux, ou quietus, le tranquille, il est celui qui peut éteindre les incendies. Il est honoré chaque année au cours des Vulcania. Les Romains l'ont identifié au dieu grec Héphaïstos dont il a hérité des mythes (comme la plupart des divinités romaines).
