Lenus was a Celtic healing god worshipped chiefly by the Treveri of the Moselle valley and almost always equated with the Roman Mars, as Lenus Mars or Mars Lenus. He was the leading god of the Treveran people, a protector of the tribe in war who under Roman rule came above all to be honoured as a healer. His principal sanctuaries lay at Augusta Treverorum (Trier) and on the Martberg above Pommern, both set around curative springs, and his cult is also attested in Roman Britain.
