维拉 Valar，是英国作家约翰·罗纳德·鲁埃尔·托尔金的史诗式奇幻小说《精灵宝钻》中的种族，意思是「阿尔达大有力量者」 Powers of Arda，女性的维拉则被称为维丽 Valier。维拉是精灵和人类眼中的诸神，他们是伊露维塔的意念创造出来的埃努，其中十五位力量最强大的埃努，协助伊露维塔统治阿尔达，被人类和精灵称为维拉。后来其中一名维拉被除名，成为了天魔王。

首先进入阿尔达的是米尔寇，他依自己的意思将阿尔达大加破坏，随后十四位维拉进入阿尔达。他们与米尔寇交战，虽然米尔寇的力量比其余十四位维拉强大，但是双拳难敌二十八手，最后米尔寇战败逃走。维拉起初居住在奥玛伦岛，那里遭米尔寇破坏之后，维拉向西迁至阿门洲，创建维林诺。

The Valar [ˈvalar] (singular Vala) are characters in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. They are "gods" or "angelic beings" subordinate to the one God (Eru Ilúvatar); they are the Ainur who chose to go into the World (Arda) and complete its material development after its form was determined by the Music of the Ainur (Ainulindalë). They are mentioned in The Lord of the Rings, but were developed earlier in material published posthumously in The Silmarillion and The History of Middle-earth.
