Witch and Dragon (1515, German: Stehende Hexe mit Ungeheuer) is a drawing by Hans Baldung which depicts a young woman and a sea-serpent.
- "It is to be feared that Grien wants us to imagine that the witch has just given birth, and it is an umbilical cord that connects her to a monster that has just ingested her baby." --Roy Booth
The drawing, a pen on brown-tinted paper, heightened with white is located at the Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe.
