Varahi (Sanskrit: ??????; Varahi) is one of the Matrikas; a group of seven or eight mother goddesses in the Hindu religion. With the head of a sow; Varahi is the shakti (feminine energy; or sometimes; consort) of Varaha; the boar Avatar of the god Vishnu. In Nepal; she is called Barahi.

Varahi is worshipped by all the three major schools of Hinduism: Shaktism (goddess worship); Shaivism (followers of the god Shiva); and Vaishnavism (devotion to Vishnu). She is usually worshipped at night; and according to secretive Vamamarga Tantric practices. The Buddhist goddesses Vajravarahi and Marichi are believed to have their origins in the Hindu goddess Varahi.
