Tuonetar (/tuo-ne-tar/), in Finnish mythology, is the Queen of the Underworld.
She is the wife of Tuoni, with whom she rules over the Underworld, Tuonela. Also, when the dead arrive to their kingdom, they are their kind hosts and are delighted to offer their guests a tankard full of frogs and worms.
She is recognized as the Virgin of Death and the goddess of the subterranean worlds. She is also the mother of Kipu-Tyttö and Loviatar.
