The Horseman of the Apocalypse is an écorché (with mummification) of a horse and its rider, made between 1766 and 1771 by the French anatomist Honoré Fragonard (1732–1799). It is in the collection of the Museum Fragonard of the École nationale vétérinaire d'Alfort (National Veterinary School of Alfort), in Maisons-Alfort, Val-de-Marne, Île-de-France, France. The techniques used to produce the sculpture are still partially unknown.
The sculpture is supposedly based on Albrecht Dürer's print.
