Tobias and the Angel is a painting in egg tempera on poplar panel, finished around 1470–1475, measuring 83.6 × 66 cm.[1] It is painting by the Italian Renaissance painter Andrea del Verrocchio.[2] It is now in the National Gallery, London. This painting is similar to an earlier painting depicting Tobias and the Angel, by Piero and Antonio del Pollaiuolo.[3] Tobias and the Angel was a popular subject in Florence at the time.

Various art historians have suggested that the young Leonardo da Vinci, who was a member of Verrocchio's studio, may have painted some part of this work,[4] most likely the fish,[5] or the dog, supported by David Alan Brown, of the National Gallery, Washington. If so, this would be perhaps the first extant example of a painting with input by Leonardo.[6]
