"Ærkeenglen Mikaels kamp med dragen" (The Archangel Michael's Fight with the Dragon) is a small ink drawing by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns. Created between 1933 and 1934, the piece is a sketch-like depiction of a scene from the biblical story of the Archangel Michael battling a dragon. While the drawing is simple in its lines, it effectively conveys the struggle between good and evil through the dynamic composition and expressive use of line. The drawing is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
