Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli (Tlahuizcalpantecutli "or" Tlahuixcalpantecuhtli ") is a deity pantheon of Aztec.

It is the god of the pink of dawn. Its name means "Lord of the house of the star of dawn" in Nahuatl , the language spoken by the Toltecs and Aztecs. He is the personification of the morning star, the planet Venus. His brother Xolotl personified his side the planet Venus as a star of the evening.

Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli is one interpretation of the god Quetzalcoatl , as the myth says that Quetzalcoatl, made drunk by his enemy Tezcatlipoca , emigrated to the East where, after having founded several towns, is transformed into Venus, the morning star. The most important building in the city of Tula , the Toltec capital, is a temple to that divinity, built between 950 and 1150 AD.
