Die Parzen (lat. parcae) sind in der römischen Mythologie die drei Schicksalsgöttinnen. Sie können gemeinsam oder auch einzeln agieren. Eine der Parzen spinnt den Schicksalsfaden der Menschen, die zweite trennt den Faden auf und die dritte schneidet ihn endgültig ab. Die Parzen heißen Nona, Decima oder Decuma und Morta. Schicksalsgöttinnen gibt es auch in der germanischen (Nornen), der griechischen (Moiren) und der slawischen Mythologie (Zorya).
