In the Hawaiian religion, Pele (often spelled "Pélé"; ; ) is the goddess of fire, lightning, wind, and volcano. She is a popular figure in many stories of ancient Hawaii known as Hawaiian mythology. Ka wahine ai honua ("the earth-eating woman") is an epithet for the goddess.

There are several traditional legends associated with Pele in Hawaiian mythology. In addition to being recognized as the goddess of: fire, lightning, wind, and volcanoes Pele is also known for her creative power, passion, purpose, and profound love.

She has numerous siblings, including Kāne Milohai, Kamohoali i, Nāmaka and 13 sisters named Hi iaka, the most famous being Hi iakaikapoliopele (Hi iaka in the bosom of Pele). They are usually considered to be the offspring of Haumea. Her home is believed to be the fire pit called Halema uma u crater, at the summit caldera of Kīlauea, one of the Earth's most active volcanoes; but her domain encompasses all volcanic activity on the Big Island of Hawai i. Every incident with a volcanic eruption in Hawaii it is said to be Pele's way of expressing her longing to be with her true love, in many stories a young chief named Lohiau, but she's a fickle and dangerous lover who sometimes kills her husbands.

Pele shares features similar to other malignant deities inhabitants of volcanoes, as in the case of the devil Guayota of Guanche Mythology in Canary Islands (Spain), living on the volcano Teide and was considered by the aboriginal Guanches as responsible for the eruptions of the volcano.
