Citizens' War Memorial, War memorial in Cathedral Square, Christchurch, New Zealand.

The Citizens' War Memorial stands in Cathedral Square, Christchurch, a 16-metre monument designed by architect George Hart with sculptor William Trethewey. Its stone structure carries bronze figures cast at Arthur Bryan Burton's Thames Ditton Foundry in Surrey, and a cross was required by the Anglican Church, which owned the original site. It was moved 50 metres west between 2021 and 2022.

Businessman George Gould proposed a memorial column opposite ChristChurch Cathedral in 1920, but the city council blocked it. In 1933 the Godley statue moved, freeing a site the Anglican Church granted on condition a cross be included. Architect George Hart and sculptor William Trethewey designed it; it was unveiled on 9 June 1937. Dismantled in April 2021 for earthquake repairs and cathedral redevelopment, it was re-dedicated on 17 February 2023 by Anne, Princess Royal.

The memorial's annual Anzac Day service moved to Hagley Park in 2011 and later to Cranmer Square while the cathedral was cordoned off. It returned to the memorial for the 2023 dawn service after the 2021–2022 relocation. The Anglican Church originally owned the site and required a cross in the design.

The memorial is located near the cathedral in central Christchurch and is freely accessible year-round. Visiting during quieter hours allows you to observe the figures and inscriptions more closely without crowds.

The memorial was designed by architect George Hart and sculptor William Trethewey; according to Trethewey's son, the sculptor sketched the first idea with a pencil during a lunch break and brought it to Hart. Trethewey then carved the figures in clay and supervised their casting at Thames Ditton Foundry in Surrey.
