Lenin Square, Regional cultural heritage site in central Volgograd, Russia.

Lenin Square is a public square in the Central District of Volgograd. Four identical apartment blocks built in 1951 form a square around Pavlov's House, later linked by a semicircular colonnade, and the end wall of Pavlov's House carries a bas-relief of a victorious hero against scenes of defensive combat. At its centre stands an 18.8-metre bronze statue of Lenin, sculpted by Yevgeny Vuchetich with architect Grigory Zakharov and cast at the Mytishchi art foundry.

Before the revolution the square was named after the St Nicholas Church built there in 1899; it was unpaved and served as a stopping place for carts carrying fish from Astrakhan and Tsaritsyn to Moscow. In the 1920s it was renamed 9 January Square in memory of Bloody Sunday. During the Battle of Stalingrad a group under Lieutenant I. F. Afanasyev held a building on the square for 58 days; it became known as Pavlov's House. After the war the square was renamed Defence Square, and in 1960, following the installation of a Lenin monument by sculptor Yevgeny Vuchetich and architect G. A. Zakharov, it received its present name.

The square functions as a gathering place where residents come together for holidays and public celebrations throughout the year. The way buildings are arranged and used shapes how people experience shared civic life.

The square sits in the Central District of Volgograd, with the Ploshchad Lenina metrotram station located beneath its northern part. The station entrance opens directly onto the square, so pedestrians can reach the plaza without crossing major roads. The surrounding layout is level and open, making orientation straightforward.

The bas-relief on the end wall of Pavlov's House depicts a victorious hero against scenes of defensive combat. The building was reconstructed in 1951 as one of four identical residential blocks forming a square around it, and later linked by a semicircular colonnade.
