Olmec Gods refer to the primary gods of the ancient Olmec civilization from South and Mesoamerica. They are considered to be precursors to the gods and the pantheon of the Aztecs and the Incas. They have been associated with natural phenomenon and animals, often imbibing physical characteristics of these as well.

They came into prominence after the discovery of the famous Olmec colossal heads which have been discovered across the whole of the Olmec empire. These heads weigh multiple tons and archaeologists are still discovering new ones even today. The meaning and attribution of these heads are still being debated with no conclusive evidence being revealed till date.
