For other meanings of Ve, see Ve (disambiguation).

Ve was one of the Æsir and a son of Bestla and Borr in Norse mythology. His brothers were Vili and Odin. He was known for having given humanity the powers of speech and their external senses. According to Loki, in Lokasenna, he had an affair with Odin's wife, Frigg.

In Völuspá, Hoenir and Lóðurr help Odin at the creation of the first man (Ask) and woman (Embla). In Gylfaginning, Vili and Ve are mentioned instead. As Snorri Sturluson knew Völuspá, it is thus possible that Lóðurr was another name for Ve.
