The Monument to Alexander III is a bronze statue set in City Beginning Park along the Ob River in Novosibirsk, Russia, placed on a tall granite pedestal. The full structure stands 13 m (about 43 ft) tall, making it one of the largest depictions of the tsar in the country.

The tsar signed the order to build the Trans-Siberian Railway in the late 19th century, which led to the founding of a bridge settlement that grew into Novosibirsk. The monument was erected in 2012, more than a century after the ruler's death.

The figure faces the Ob River, turning its back to the city, which visually points toward the eastern railway route that defined Novosibirsk's reason for existing. The bronze work shows the tsar in a military posture, wearing a long coat in the Russian imperial style.

The monument sits inside City Beginning Park, which is accessible by foot from the city center and directly connected to the Ob River embankment. The paths around it are paved, making a visit comfortable for most visitors at any time of year.

A descendant of the tsar, Danish by birth, attended the unveiling ceremony in 2012, creating a personal link to the imperial family that few had anticipated. This presence gave the opening of a modern Russian city statue an unexpected dynastic dimension.
