Dragestil (Template:Lang-en) is the Norwegian name of a style of design and architecture that was widely used in Scandinavia between 1880 and 1910. Its foremost source of inspiration was the viking and mediaeval art and architecture of Scandinavia, notably the stave churches of Norway. It often featured Norse motifs, such as serpents and dragons, hence its popular appellation.

Important proponents in the modern era include architects Holm Hansen Munthe and Balthazar Lange.^[1]
