The Thunderbird is a divine being in Native American mythology that creates thunder by beating its wings and lightning by blinking its eyes. The Thunderbird was regarded as an immensely powerful force and, in some traditions, was considered synonymous with the supreme deity.

The association between thunder and birds is, however, widespread. It has also appeared in Asia and South America, but it is rarely as central to mythology as it is among the aforementioned cultures.
