{{otheruses4|the Norse deity|the Dacian tribe|Burs (Dacia)}}'''Borr''' or '''Burr''' (sometimes [[Old Norse orthography|anglicized]] '''Bor''' or '''Bur''') was the son of [[Búri]] and the father of [[Odin]] in [[Norse mythology]]. He is mentioned in the ''[[Gylfaginning]]'' part of [[Snorri Sturluson]]'s ''[[Prose Edda]]''.

Borr is not mentioned again in the Prose Edda. In [[skaldic poetry|skaldic]] and [[Poetic Edda|eddaic]] poetry Odin is occasionally [[kenning|referred to]] as ''Borr's son'' but no further information on Borr is given. Other sources are silent.
The role of Borr in the mythology is unclear and there is no indication that he was worshipped in [[Norse paganism]].
