Wounded Amazon (German: Verwundete Amazone) is a 1904 painting by the German artist Franz von Stuck. It depicts a kneeling and bleeding Amazon in a battle between Amazons and Centaurs.
The motif is not taken from any particular source material. The painting was made from photographs of a model posing in Stuck's studio. The artist made three versions of the painting.
