Usas (Dewanagari: उषस्; IAST: Uṣás) adalah dewi fajar dalam pustaka Weda agama Hindu.[2][3] Ia disebutkan berkali-kali dalam gita puja Weda, dan menurut ahli Weda David Kinsley, Usas secara konsisten diidentifikasi sebagai fajar, setiap hari membuka tabir dirinya bersama cahaya yang menerangi muka Bumi, menyingkirkan kegelapan, mengusir roh-roh jahat, membangunkan berbagai makhluk hidup, mengajak setiap orang untuk mengerjakan kewajibannya.[4] Ia merupakan awal kehidupan segala makhluk hidup, pendorong segala aktivitas dan napas, musuh bagi kekacauan dan kebingungan, awal kebangkitan yang baik bagi aturan semesta dan moral yang disebut reta dalam agama Hindu.[4][5]
