Korean War Memorial, Canberra, War memorial on ANZAC Parade in Canberra, Australia.

The Australian National Korean War Memorial stands on Anzac Parade, south of the Australian War Memorial. Its design uses boulders from the Imjin River region and monotone materials to recall the harsh climate and terrain of Korea. Figures on both sides represent Australian soldiers, sailors and airmen, while battlefield boulders set among stainless steel poles symbolise those who died. A central walkway leads to a semi-enclosed contemplative space, and an obelisk at the front commemorates those with no known graves.

The memorial was established on 18 April 2000 on Anzac Parade. Its ground-breaking ceremony took place on 17 September 1999, led by South Korean President Kim Dae-jung and Australian Prime Minister John Howard, and a foundation stone marks the event. It was dedicated in the presence of Governor-General Sir William Deane and John Howard.

The memorial's Korean inscription on the central battlefield boulder reads "Peace" and "Independence". A scroll at the site names the 21 nations that sent troops or medical units to the UN Command. The obelisk carries an inscription taken from the UN Memorial Cemetery in Busan, linking the site to Australians buried there.

The site is easily accessible on foot and well-signposted, with information panels explaining Australian military involvement. Open paths and seating areas allow visitors to take time viewing the inscriptions and details at their own pace.

The memorial's stainless steel panels are etched with images, maps and text telling the story of Australians who served in Korea. The left side gives the general account, while the right details the Navy's nine ships and an air group, the Army's 3 RAR with elements of 1 and 2 RAR, and the Air Force's 77 Squadron.
