Contrebis (Gontrebis) is a Celtic god worshipped in Britain, whose name has been translated as “he who is among us.” He appears to be a god of the community, a protector of his people–a god who is present in the lives of his worshippers.

In one of his inscriptions the god Ialonus is mentioned as well; the link between the two has yet to be determined.
