New Malden War Memorial, War memorial in New Malden, England.

The memorial features a three-tiered cenotaph with bronze plaques, stone bases, and a carved wreath on its front face outside the former Town Hall.

Located on New Malden High Street at coordinates 51.402468, -0.256288, the Grade II listed memorial stands next to the current Waitrose supermarket.
