燃灯佛，梵语Dipamkara，是过去庄严劫中所出世的千佛之一。因出生时身边一切光明如灯，故名燃灯佛。又名锭光佛、定光佛、锭光如来、定光如来、普光如来。 燃灯佛是纵三世佛之一的过去佛，与现在佛释迦牟尼，未来佛弥勒并称。燃灯古佛在过去时为释迦牟尼佛授记，预言他未来将成佛.

Dipamkara is the Buddha of the age prior to the time and cosmic age of Shakyamuni Buddha. According to the Pali Canon, he was the Buddha that predicted the future enlightenment of the bodhisattva that was to become Shakyamuni - the historical Buddha. Dipamkara is popularly worshiped in Nepal but rarely found in other parts of the Himalayas, Tibet, or surrounding regions. In Tibetan art Dipamkara is almost always depicted along with Shakyamuni Buddha and the bodhisattva Maitreya - depicted as a Buddha. These three collectively are known as the Buddhas of the Three Times and often arranged in a three painting set.

燃灯佛的典型形象为: 头饰螺绿，肉髻高隆，面容庄严肃穆。身披袈裟，袒露右肩。结跏跌端坐于束腰莲台上，双手置胸前结说法印。身后有7条花蛇相互盘绕，蛇头于佛像头顶伸向前方。
