The Homeric Hymns (Ὁμηρικοὶ ὕμνοι) are a collection of thirty-three anonymous ancient Greek hymns celebrating individual Greek deities. The hymns are "Homeric" in the sense that they employ the same epic meter—dactylic hexameter—as the Iliad (Ἰλιάς) and Odyssey (Ὀδύσσεια), use many similar formulas and are couched in the same dialect. While the modern scholarly consensus is that they were not written during the lifetime of Homer himself, they were uncritically attributed to him in antiquity.

The poems are, in fact, of varied date and provenance, although the majority are most probably products of the archaic period (7th to 6th centuries BCE). The collection is incomplete; it contains major hymns to Demeter (Δημήτηρ), Apollo (Ἀπόλλων), Hermes (Ἑρμῆς), and Aphrodite (Ἀφροδίτη) but only short pieces to Zeus (Ζεύς), Hera (Ἥρα), Poseidon (Ποσειδῶν), Athena (Ἀθήνη), Artemis (Ἄρτεμις), Hephaestus (Ἥφαιστος), and Ares (Ἄρης); four of the Homeric Hymns (two to Demeter, three to Apollo, four to Hermes, and five to Aphrodite) contain developed narratives of episodes in the lives of the deities celebrated and stretch from 293 to 580 lines. The first Hymn to Dionysus (Διόνυσος) also contained an extended narrative of over 400 lines, but now survives only in fragments. There are two mid-length Hymns with narratives, seven to Dionysus (fifty-nine lines), and nineteen to Pan (Πάν) (forty-nine lines), but the rest of the poems in the corpus are short celebrations of divine powers consisting of between three and twenty-two lines. Critical attention has understandably focused most on the longer Homeric Hymns with extended narratives.

The thirty-three hymns praise most of the major deities of Greek religion; at least the shorter ones may have served as preludes to the recitation of epic verse at festivals by professional rhapsodes: often the singer concludes by saying that now he will pass to another song. A thirty-fourth, To Hosts is not a hymn, but a reminder that hospitality is a sacred duty enjoined by the gods, a pointed reminder when coming from a professional rhapsode.
