Tiberinus is the god of the Tiber River.

According to Book VIII of Virgil's epic Aeneid, Tiberinus helped Aeneas after his arrival in Italy from Troy, suggesting to him that he seek an alliance with Evander of Pallene in the war against Turnus and his allies.

Tiberinus is also known as the river god who found the twins Romulus and Remus and gave them to the she-wolf Lupa to suckle. He later rescued and married Rhea Silvia, the mother of the twins and a Vestal Virgin who had been sentenced to death.
