The Varnenum is a Gallo-Roman temple in Kornelimünster (North Rhine-Westphalia/Germany).

The ruins of three temple buildings were found at the main site. Additional buildings and a surrounding wall were also discovered. The archaeologists could define at least three different construction periods. The oldest part of the site dates from the 1rst century AD.
The finds indicate that the Germanic goddess Sunuxal (Sunuxsal) as well as the local god Varneno (Varnenus) were venerated here.

The site has been investigated with several excavations since 1907. It is officially open for visitors since 1989.
