Os Lusíadas es una obra épica del poeta portugués Luís Vaz de Camões, considerada la epopeya portuguesa por excelencia. Publicada en 1572, narra la historia de Portugal, desde sus orígenes míticos hasta los descubrimientos marítimos del siglo XVI, con especial atención a la expedición de Vasco da Gama a la India. La obra exalta el heroísmo portugués, el espíritu de aventura y la expansión del cristianismo, mezclando historia, mitología y elementos fantásticos en una narrativa grandiosa y llena de simbolismo.

Luís Vaz de Camões, sometimes rendered in English as Camoens or Camoëns, is considered Portugal's and the Portuguese language's greatest poet. His mastery of verse has been compared to that of Shakespeare, Milton, Vondel, Homer, Virgil and Dante. He wrote a considerable amount of lyrical poetry and drama but is best remembered for his epic work Os Lusíadas. His collection of poetry The Parnasum of Luís de Camões was lost during his life. The influence of his masterpiece Os Lusíadas is so profound that Portuguese is sometimes called the "language of Camões".
