The Ligures (singular Ligus or Ligur; English: Ligurians) were an ancient Indo-European people who appear to have originated in, and gave their name to, Liguria, a region of north-western Italy. Elements of the Ligures appear to have migrated to other areas of western Europe, including the Iberian Peninsula.
