Vocabulario en lengua castellana y mexicana is a bilingual dictionary of Spanish and Nahuatl by Alonso de Molina, first published in 1571. It has approximately 23,600 entries,[1] and grew out of his earlier dictionary, Aqui comienca un vocabulario en la lengua castellana y mexicana, which had only Spanish-to-Nahuatl, and no Nahuatl-to-Spanish section.[2]

Molina's Vocabulario is considered the most important dictionary of Classical Nahuatl, and has continued to be reprinted into the 20th century.[2][3] It is typically referred to simply as Molina.
