Danaë in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, is an oil painting by the Italian artist Titian.

Titian painted at least five versions of Danaë (a character from mythology). This version includes much work by members of Titian's workshop, as revealed by the heavier treatment of Danaë's skin-tone and body as well as the hanging drapery.
