Venilia, in Roman mythology, is a deity associated with the winds and the sea. According to Virgil and Ovid she was a nymph, the sister of Amata, and the wife of Janus (or Faunus) with whom she had three children, Turnus, Juturna, and Canens.

She and Salacia are the paredrae of Neptune.

The Venilia Mons, a mountain on Venus, is named for her.
