Spiral (Rita Wayword) is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, usually those featuring the X-Men family of characters. Created by writer Ann Nocenti and artist Art Adams, the character first appeared in Longshot #1 (September 1985). Spiral was a human stunt-woman, before being enslaved and transformed into a six-armed sorcerer by Mojo.

Spiral was established as a lieutenant for Longshot's archenemy, Mojo. Prior to Longshot joining the X-Men, Spiral also became a recurring adversary of the various X-Men subgroups, as well as serving as the archenemy-turned-ally of X-Men member Psylocke. She later joined a team of X-Force led by X-Men member Storm.
