Statue of Queen Victoria, Bronze monument in front of Queen Victoria Building, Sydney, Australia

The Statue of Queen Victoria is a bronze figure of the queen seated in a low chair rather than a throne, wearing a simple coronet instead of a crown. On her left breast is the star of the Order of St Patrick, with shamrocks, crowned harps and St Patrick's Cross; the chain around her neck alternates the red and white roses of England. It stands on the corner of Druitt and George Street in front of the Queen Victoria Building.

The Royal Dublin Society proposed a memorial after Queen Victoria's 1900 visit to Ireland, and John Hughes was commissioned to create it. It was unveiled on 15 February 1908 in the courtyard of Leinster House, Dublin, before 1,000 troops. It was removed in July 1948 and later brought to Sydney for the renovated Queen Victoria Building.

Peter Moore notes that Hughes showed Victoria as the "Irish Queen" rather than the British Sovereign: she sits in a low chair, wears a simple coronet instead of the royal or imperial crown, and bears the star and pendant badge of the Order of St Patrick with shamrocks, crowned harps and St Patrick's Cross. The chain around her neck alternates the red and white roses of England.

The statue faces George Street at its corner with Druitt Street, directly in front of the Queen Victoria Building, so it is passed on foot rather than viewed from a distance. A standing bronze Queen Victoria made by John Hughes stands nearby on Queen's Square, giving a second view of the same sculptor's work.

The statue is not the only Victoria figure at this corner: a standing bronze of the queen, also by John Hughes, is nearby on Queen's Square. The seated work was the last royal statue erected in Ireland, unveiled at Leinster House in 1908.
