Nathan Bedford Forrest Monument, Bronze equestrian monument in Memphis, United States
The Charles Henry Niehaus monument presents Nathan Bedford Forrest mounted on horseback in a Confederate Army uniform at the former Forrest Park location.
The monument, commissioned in 1901 for $25,000, was cast in Paris and officially unveiled during a dedication ceremony on May 16, 1905.
The monument generated discussions about historical representation, leading to its removal from Health Sciences Park on December 20, 2017.

The statue's remains were transferred to the Sons of Confederate Veterans organization, who proposed relocating it to their National Headquarters in Columbia.
