Nabia (or Navia) was a goddess of the Pre-Roman peoples of the Iberian Peninsula, although she also had an extended cult during the Roman occupation of the peninsula.^[2]

Nabia was worshipped in many places on the Iberian Peninsula, sometimes in very different ways, leading some historians to suggest that "Nabia" was just a common word used by different peoples to refer to their deities (a theory questioned by others).^{[3][page needed]} Due to the uncertainty of her nature, she is sometimes interpreted as a water deity,^[1] other times she is associated with valleys, forests and hills,^[4] and she's further seen as the goddess of fertility, health, and abundance.^[5]
