"Le Combat d'Hercule et de l'Hydre" is a notable work by French sculptor Bénédict Masson (1819–1893), which depicts the legendary battle between Hercules (Heracles in Greek mythology) and the Lernaean Hydra, a serpentine water monster with multiple heads. This sculpture is one of the representations of the second of the Twelve Labors of Hercules, a series of episodes concerning a penance carried out by Hercules, the greatest of the ancient Greek heroes.

Masson's work captures the dramatic moment of confrontation, showcasing his skill in rendering both the human form and the fantastical creature with precision and dynamism. The sculpture is a testament to the 19th-century fascination with classical themes and mythology, as well as the Romantic movement's emphasis on emotion and the sublime. Masson's interpretation of the mythological subject reflects the artistic trends of his time, where artists sought to evoke the grandeur and heroism of ancient times.
