Arent Nicolai Dragsted (9 June 1821 - 15 August 1898) was a Danish goldsmith based in Copenhagen who was granted the predicate Purveyor to the Court of Denmark shortly before his death. His company, A. Dragsted, still exists today. Dragsted created the golden horn that was presented to Bernhard Severin Ingemann by Danish women on the occasion of his 75th birthday. The horn is now on display in the Danish Museum of National History at Frederiksborg Castle in Hillerød.
