Wisnu (Dewanagari: विष्णु ; Viṣṇu) (disebut juga Sri Wisnu atau Nārāyana) adalah Dewa yang bergelar sebagai shtiti (pemelihara) yang bertugas memelihara dan melindungi segala ciptaan Brahman (Tuhan Yang Maha Esa). Dalam filsafat Hindu Waisnawa, Ia dipandang sebagai roh suci sekaligus dewa yang tertinggi. Namun dalam legenda lain, Dewa Brahma adalah Dewa Tertinggi. Dalam filsafat Adwaita Wedanta dan tradisi Hindu umumnya, Dewa Wisnu dipandang sebagai salah satu manifestasi Brahman dan enggan untuk dipuja sebagai Tuhan tersendiri yang menyaingi atau sederajat dengan Brahman
