Mitra and Varuna (Sanskrit: ) are two deities frequently referred to in the ancient Indian scripture of the Rigveda. They are both considered Ādityas, means sons of Aditi; and they are protectors of the righteous order of Ṛta. Their connection is so close that they are frequently linked in the dvandva compound Mitra–Varuna.
"Mitra-Varuna" is also the title of a 1940 essay in Proto-Indo-European mythology by Georges Dumézil.
