In [[Greek mythology]] and [[Ancient Greek religion|religion]], '''Notus''' ({{langx|grc|Νότος|Nótos|south}}) is the god of the south wind and one of the [[Anemoi]] (wind-gods), sons of the dawn goddess [[Eos]] and the star-god [[Astraeus]]. A desiccating wind of heat, Notus was associated with the storms of late summer and early autumn, wetness, mist, and was seen as a rain-bringer. Unlike his two more notable brothers, [[Boreas (god)|Boreas]] (the god of the north wind) and [[Zephyrus]] (the god of the west wind), Notus has little to no unique mythology of his own.

His Roman equivalent is the god '''Auster'''.
