Calcabrina is one of the demons in the Inferno of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. Calcabrina is a member of the Malebranche, whose mission is to guard Bolgia Five in the Eigth Circle, the Malebolge. Calcabrina's name is possibly mean to mean "grace-stomper" or "frost trampler". Calcabrina is one of the ten devils that escorts Dante and Virgil by orders of Malacoda. The most notable mention of him is when Alichino falls for Bontur Dati' s escape plan. Calcabrina decides to fly after after the escaping sinner and ends up fighting with Alichino, who is also in pursuit, only for them to both fall into the boiling pitch.

Infuriate at the mockery, Calcabrina ⁠Flying behind him followed close, desirous ⁠The other should escape, to have a quarrel.

And when the barrator had disappeared, ⁠He turned his talons upon his companion, ⁠And grappled with him right above the moat.

But sooth the other was a doughty sparhawk ⁠To clapperclaw him well; and both of them ⁠Fell in the middle of the boiling pond. (Inferno XXII, Line 133-141)
