越南將自然界神靈、民間信仰神明、以及人間帝女等冠上公主封號，以極尊崇名稱賦予其獨特位。本文依據《越甸幽靈簡本》書後所附三十三位「歷朝靈顯公主神女」，再參考《大越史記全書》及其它可得見的越南漢文獻，將越南公主故事表列之，並加以介紹說明，藉以探討故事背後的女神信仰和帝女神話內涵。不同民族都有數量龐大的女神族群，有著創造神、始祖神、守護神或是萬能神之信仰意義。而女神中的帝女身份不僅引人矚目，也別具代表性。「帝女」指的是天界或人間主宰之女，「帝」是神話世界之天帝、玉帝或上帝，也是遠古傳說中的聖王仁君，當然也為歷代皇帝及人主。「帝女」神話背後富含著宗教信仰意義，也深具發人省思的性別問題，足以成為今日探討兩性議題之重要觀察。探討越南公主故事中的女神信仰和帝女神話，不僅可以呈現越南母道信仰和性別意識之特徵，更可藉此了解中國文化的影響層面，以及宗教發展的通則概況。
