Which angel is traditionally associated with healing?

Raphael is traditionally associated with healing.

Raphael’s healing reputation comes especially from the Book of Tobit, a deuterocanonical book accepted as scripture by Catholics and Orthodox Christians. In the story, Raphael travels in human disguise with Tobias, helps defeat the demon Asmodeus, and uses a fish’s organs in the healing of Tobit’s blindness. His name is commonly interpreted from Hebrew as meaning “God has healed.”

Later Jewish and Christian traditions expanded this role, presenting Raphael as a protector of travelers and a patron of the sick, physicians, nurses, and other healing professions. Christian art often depicts him with Tobias, a staff, or a fish, visual clues to the Tobit narrative.

Raphael is not named in the New Testament. Some Christian traditions nevertheless connected him with the unnamed angel associated with the Pool of Bethesda in John 5. That identification is traditional rather than an explicit statement in the Gospel, but it reinforces his longstanding healing association.
