The story of the frog and the scorpion is a well-known fable or folktale that serves as an allegory about the challenges of overcoming one's inborn nature or inherent characteristics, even when doing so could prove harmful or detrimental.

The earliest known appearance of this fable is in the 1933 Russian novel The German Quarter by Lev Nitoburg. The fable also appears in the 1944 novel The Hunter of the Pamirs, and this is the earliest known appearance of the fable in English.

The Scorpion and the Frog is sometimes attributed to Aesop, although it does not appear in any collection of Aesop's fables prior to the 20th century.
