"Warrior Fighting a Dragon" is a woodblock print from c. 1822 by the Japanese artist Yashima Gakutei (1786–1868). The print, now located in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a warrior battling a dragon. The dynamic composition and detailed rendering of the figures and the dragon, alongside the inscription in the top left, demonstrates Gakutei's skill in using the woodblock print medium.
