"Dagon" is a short story by H. P. Lovecraft, written in July 1917, one of the first stories he wrote as an adult. It was first published in the November 1919 edition of The Vagrant (issue #11).

Dagon is a 2001 horror movie directed by Stuart Gordon and written by Dennis Paoli. Despite the title, the story is based more on H.P. Lovecraft's novella The Shadow Over Innsmouth (1932) than his earlier short story titled "Dagon" (1919).
