* ''{{Supernatural}}'' has Anna, who rebelled against the CelestialBureaucracy, and decided to become human and live on earth. [[spoiler:Unusually for a FallenAngel, she does get to go back... although the other angels aren't happy about it.]] Castiel fits this trope in season five, although he's sickly and about as ChaoticNeutral as always. There's also Lucifer and [[spoiler: Gabriel, although he's more of an angel in hiding than a fallen angel]].

* NeilGaiman's ''TheSandman'' features a Lucifer (referred to a Lucifer [[RedBaron Morningstar]] as his full title) who wasn't so much "fallen" as he was "pushed". It is heavily implied, if not outright stated, that Lucifer's "fall" was a case of entrapment (in the legal sense) set up by God, because God needed to put one of his own in charge of Hell.
** Later on, Lucifer gives up being in charge of Hell, and it ultimately passes onto two other angels, by decree of God. When one of them hears this, he claims he will rebel, but then realizes he would then be [[MortonsFork going to hell anyway]]. Lucifer's story then leads into the events of the ''{{Lucifer}}'' comic, [[spoiler:in which Lucifer makes his own Creation, and ultimately rejects even that, exiling himself from all reality to escape God's influence.]]

* ''TheDresdenFiles'': The Knights of the Blackened Denarius are all powered by Fallen Angels, each trapped in one of thirty silver coins, the same coins Judas was paid to betray Jesus. Anyone who holds the coins has the old as time Fallen acting as an advisor, they cease to age, and they get the ability to transform into a [[GameFace battle form]] that features things like super-strength and various pointy bits. The more mental fortitude and will you have the more control you have over the Fallen. Too weedy in the willpower department and they'll basically enslave you. Only way to get rid of them is to voluntarily give up the coin. [[spoiler: Harry has one of the Fallen living in his head for a while]].

* ''TheBible'': {{Satan}} is perhaps the UrExample and makes this trope OlderThanFeudalism. The apocryphal Book of Enoch offers several more.

* In the first season of ''OldHarrysGame'' Satan was prone to reflecting wistfully on his time as an angel, much to the irritation of his lieutenant, Gary.

* MagicTheGathering has a few, [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=3844 starting with this one]].

* The First of the Fallen in ''{{Hellblazer}}'' is something of this sort: [[spoiler:He was intended to be God's conscience ([[GoodAngelBadAngel Shoulder Angel]], [[JustForPun if you will]]), and was cast from heaven when he came to believe God was insane and that his existence was meaningless]]. According to a somewhat convoluted Vertigo {{canon}} (trying to keep continuity with ''TheSandman'') he was the first being God cast from His sight, long before Lucifer's rebellion, but is much less powerful than Lucifer and thus not the lord of Hell until Lucifer quits. The First of the Fallen acts much more like a 'stereotypical' devil, with [[DealWithTheDevil soul-bargains]] and so on, and antagonizes John Constantine on a regular basis. This leads to almost equal amounts of DidYouJustScamCthulhu from Constantine's side.

* ''TheBible'': {{Satan}} is perhaps the UrExample and makes this trope OlderThanDirt. The apocryphal Book of Enoch offers several more.

* Anthony J. Crowley, from ''GoodOmens'', although he didn't so much Fall as "saunter vaguely downwards". He's definitely a sympathetic portrayal, and his opposite number is Aziraphale, an angel, who is also officially the Enemy -- except instead of battling to the death, over the past 6000 years of knowing each other they've become [[HeterosexualLifePartners best friends]]. Aziraphale and Crowley tend to [[BreadEggsMilkSquick lunch together, go out for drinks, and join forces against Heaven and Hell to help prevent Armageddon]]. Aziraphale used to be the angel of the Eastern Gate of Eden; Eden being where they met, although Crowley (originally known as "Crawly") had the form of a snake at the time. Yes, Crowley's ''[[HowDoYouLikeThemApples that]]'' snake.

* ''[[KidIcarus Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'': One of the early concepts was that Pit (now an adult) was cursed for thousands of years and had become a {{Fallen Angel}} due to a crime, with [[TattooedCrook a tattoo bearing an inscription of said crime]]. [[{{Understatement}} People were not amused]], and so the idea was scrapped.

* ''{{Supernatural}}'' has Anna, who rebelled against the CelestialBureaucracy, and decided to become human and live on earth. [[spoiler:Unusually for a FallenAngel, she does get to go back... although the other angels aren't happy about it.]] Castiel fits this trope in season five, although he's sickly and about as ChaoticNeutral as always. There's also Lucifer, Gabriel and Bartholomew, alongside a few of the older demons who fell from heaven alongside Lucifer.

** Gabriel is more of an angel in hiding than a fallen angel, technically speaking.

* In ''Necrophim'', the titular Necrophim are all fallen angels. The demons, who were around since before Lucifer's rebellion, aren't happy to have the Necrophim squatting in Hell.

* There are many {{Fallen Angel}}s in {{Neil Gaiman}}'s short story (later adapted as a comic) "Murder Mysteries". Oddly, Lucifer isn't one of them....[[DoomedByCanon yet]].

-->'''Obeya [[spoiler: (disguised as the janitor)]]:''' I had a pretty bad fall. Maybe you've read about it...in TheBible? That's what they call it. A Fall. '''I'd say I was pushed!'''

** Later on, Lucifer gives up being in charge of Hell, and it ultimately passes onto two other angels, by decree of God. When one of them hears this, he claims he will rebel, but then realizes he would then be [[MortonsFork going to hell anyway]]. Lucifer's story then leads into the events of the ''{{Lucifer}}'' comic, [[spoiler:in which Lucifer makes his own Creation.]]

* ''TheSilmarillion'': Morgoth
* ''TheLordOfTheRings'': Sauron, Saruman and Balrogs are all Fallen Angels.

* ''{{MAG ISA}}'': [[http://www.drunkduck.com/MAG_ISA/index.php?p=688957 Lucia]] gets mistaken for Lucifer alot. Maybe she is, maybe she isnt. Who knows?
