In [[Nordic mythology]], '''Naglfari''' is the father of [[Auðr (mythological character)|Auðr]] by the personified night, [[Nótt]].<ref>William Ricketts Cooper (1876). ''An Archaic Dictionary: Biographical, Historical, and Mythological: From the Egyptian, Assyrian, and Etruscan Monuments and Papyri''. "''In Scandinavian mythology the first husband of the goddess Nott, who bare to him the deity Udr''."</ref> Naglfari is attested in a single mention in the ''[[Prose Edda]]'' (written in the 13th century by [[Snorri Sturluson]]) book ''[[Gylfaginning]]'', where he is described as one of a series of three husbands of Nótt, and that the couple produced a son, [[Auðr (mythology)|Auðr]].<ref name=FAULKES13-14>Faulkes (1995:13—14).</ref> No additional information is provided about Naglfari.<ref name=LINDOW235>Lindow (2001:235).</ref><br />
<br />
[[Rudolf Simek]] theorizes that Snorri invented Naglfari but states that his reason for doing so is unknown.<ref name=SIMEK226>Simek (2007:226).</ref><br />
