"Hercules and the Stymphalian Birds" is an engraving by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in 1500. This work is part of a series of engravings that depict scenes from classical mythology, showcasing Dürer's fascination with ancient Greek and Roman stories. The engraving illustrates the sixth labor of Hercules, in which the hero was tasked with exterminating the Stymphalian birds, man-eating creatures with beaks of bronze and sharp metallic feathers that lived in the Stymphalian Lake in Arcadia.

Dürer's representation of this mythological event is notable for its intricate detail and the fusion of Northern Renaissance and classical art elements. The engraving features Hercules in the foreground, employing a pair of clappers given to him by the goddess Athena to frighten the birds into flight, making them vulnerable to his arrows. The scene is set against a detailed landscape that reflects Dürer's keen observation of nature and his skill in rendering it with fine lines and textures.

The work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its reflection of the humanist interests of the time, as artists and scholars looked to the ancient world for inspiration. "Hercules and the Stymphalian Birds" exemplifies Dürer's technical prowess in the medium of engraving and his ability to convey narrative through composition and the use of visual allegory. The engraving is held in various collections and remains an important example of Dürer's contribution to the Northern Renaissance and the revival of classical themes in European art.
