Ambisagrus is a Celtic god worshipped in Gaul. His associations are uncertain given the single inscription on which his name appears.
He was sometimes identified by the Romans with their god Jupiter by way of the interpretatio romana; this connection, along with some interpretations of his name, has suggested to some that he may be a thunder god.
