The Waking of Angantyr or the Incantation of Hervor is a poem in the Poetic Edda, which is also found in the Hervarar saga.

The poem is about the shieldmaiden Hervor and her summoning of her father Angantyr's ghost at his barrow. She does so in order to make him give her her heirloom, the cursed sword Tyrfing.
