Vesunna is a Celtic goddess worshipped in Gaul. She was likely considered a giver of prosperity, abundance and good fortune, as evidenced by the cornucopia she is depicted carrying in her images.

Vesunna was also once the name of a town just south of the modern French city of Perigueux, where the goddess had a temple in ancient times; she was certainly the patron goddess of this city and its people and thus a protector.

In inscriptions found in Perigueux, Vesunna is identified with the Roman goddess of luck, Tutela, which emphasizes Vesunna’s role as a goddess of good fortune.
