Śuri is the name of an important Etruscan god, most often identified with the blazing sun and the powers of the underworld. Ancient sources connect him with fire, purification, and oracular prophecy. His cult was centered on Mount Soracte in central Italy. His sacred animal was the wolf. His name was later latinized by the Romans to Soranus.

The name is derived from the Etruscan word śur 𐌛𐌖𐌑 meaning “black; from the dark place.”
