Venutius was a Briton chief who led his people to against the Roman emperor Claudius.

Husband to the female chieftain Cartimandua of the Brigantes tribe, Venutius initially followed his wife's lead and did not oppose the Roman incursions. When the Britonnic warrior Caratacus went to the Brigantes for sanctuary, Cartimandua betrayed him and delivered Caratacus to the Romans against Venutius' counsel.

Venutius opposed her actions and his wife then took his standard-bearer Vellocatus as her lover. Venutius turned on her Roman patrons and soon became one of Rome's fiercest opponents, waging war across northern England and into Wales for years. Eventually, Venutius took complete command of the Brigantes, who became a thorn in the side of Rome. After years of attacking the Romans, Venutius was decapitated for his crimes.
