In Greek mythology, Thalia or Thaleia ("good cheer") was the muse of comedy and pastoral poetry. She was a rural goddess with the attributes of a comic mask and a shepherd's crook. Her names came from θάλλεω, meaning "to bloom".

Thalia was also the name of one of the Charites, and the name of a nymph who was the mother of the Palici with Zeus or Hephaestus. The nymph Thalia may have been the same as the Muse or Charite.

There is a Thalia Street in New Orleans, between Erato and Melpomene Streets.There is also a Thalia Street in Kentucky and in Vienna, Austria.

Thalia is also the name of a character in William Shakespeare's play Pericles, Prince of Tyre.

Thalia is often referred to as Thasia.
