Mogens Balle (Copenhagen, 1921 - Copenhagen, 1988) was a Danish painter and writer and member of the Cobra movement.
Balle first studied to be an architect, but dropped out to focus on the visual arts. In 1947 he co-founded the artists' association Spiralen, where he got to know artists such as Asger Jorn and Wilhelm Freddie.
After first focusing on Naturalism, he switched from 1945 to abstract painting, in which fantasy figures were shown. After his Cobra period, his work became more and more abstract. He also made Peinture mots, in which word and image were merged into one work.
From the 1960s he also made bronze sculptures of his fantasy figures.
