Habakkuk and the Angel is a sculpture by Gian Lorenzo Bernini produced from 1655 to 1661, displayed in the Santa Maria del Popolo, a church in Rome, ever since.

The work was ordered by the Chigi-Albani family. It reflects a story in the 14th chapter of the Greek Version of the Book of Daniel, also called Bel and the Dragon.
