Le divinità induiste sono le forme divine adorate nell'Induismo, la religione dominante del subcontinente indiano.
Questa religione, nella sua forma moderna, si compone di tre grandi tradizioni: shivaismo, vishnuismo e shaktismoNath, 2001, pag.31, i cui seguaci considerano rispettivamente Shiva, Visnù o la Shakti (quest'ultima chiamata anche Devī) come esser la divinità suprema.
L'induismo viene considerata la religione più antica (Ur-religion) esistente al mondo e i suoi praticanti si riferiscono ad essa come all'eterna legge (Sanatana Dharma)Knott, 1998, pag.5.
