Bos (dari bahasa Latin bōs: lembu) merupakan genus bagi lembu bela jinak mahupun liar. Bos boleh terbahagi kepada empat subgenus: Bos, Bibos, Novibos, dan Poephagus, tetapi boleh dipertikaikan. Genus ini mempunyai lima spesies yang masih wujud. Tetapi ini mungkin meningkat jadi tujuh jika varian bela jinak dikira spesies berasingan, dan sembilan jika genus rapat Bison turut disertakan.^[1] Kebanyakan baka lembu bela jinak dipercayai berpunca daripada aurochs yang pupus.
