In Norse mythology Eir ("help" or "mercy") is a goddess of the Æsir; she knew the medicinal properties of herbs and was capable of resurrection. Only women could learn the art of healing in Scandinavia. She was good friends with Frigg.

She is only briefly mentioned in Snorri Sturluson's Edda and in some kennings.
