In ancient Etruscan and Roman mythology, Mania (Etruscan: 𐌀𐌉𐌍𐌀𐌌), also spelled Manea, was a goddess of the dead, spirits and chaos: she was said to be the mother of ghosts, the undead, and other spirits of the night, as well as the Lares and the Manes. She, along with Mantus (Etruscan: 𐌈𐌍𐌀𐌌, romanized: Manth), ruled the underworld.

Her counterpart in Greek mythology, also named Mania (or Maniae), was the goddess of insanity and madness.

Her name links her to the Manes, Mana Genita, and Manius.^[1]

Both the Greek and Latin Mania derive from PIE (Proto-Indo-European) *men-, "to think." Cognates include Ancient Greek μένος, ménos, 'mind, thought', and Avestan 𐬎𐬫𐬥𐬌𐬀𐬨, mainyu, 'spirit'.
