Bricta is a Celtic goddess worshipped in Gaul and (as Brixta) in Britain; her presence at a healing temple and the many votive offerings left to her there appear to indicate a healing aspect.

She was accompanied by Luxovius at the hot mineral springs of Luxeuil in France.

Bricta may be related linguistically to the Irish goddess Brigid.
