The Wounded Angel (Finnish: Haavoittunut enkeli; Swedish: Sårad ängel; ) is a painting by Finnish symbolist painter Hugo Simberg.
It is one of the most recognizable of Simberg's works, and was voted Finland's "national painting" in a vote held by the Ateneum art museum in [1][2][3][4] In a similar vote held by Nordic Moneta, it was voted second most important.[5]

The right-hand figure's gaze is fixated beyond and to the right of the viewer.
