Robert E. Lee Monument, Civil War monument in Lee Circle, New Orleans, United States.

The Robert E. Lee Monument was a brass statue by sculptor Alexander Doyle, 16 feet 6 inches tall on an 8-foot-4-inch base, set on a 60-foot granite column with an interior staircase. It stood at Tivoli Circle, later called Lee Circle, on St. Charles Avenue, and the figure faced north. The granite base and pedestal were designed by architect John Ray under a contract dated 1877.

Fundraising began in 1870, just after Robert E. Lee's death, under the Robert E. Lee Monument Association led by Louisiana Supreme Court justice Charles E. Fenner; it had raised $36,400 by 1876. Sculptor Alexander Doyle made the brass statue, installed in 1884, while architect John Ray designed the granite base and pedestal under a contract dated 1877 costing $26,474. The monument was dedicated on February 22, 1884, George Washington's birthday, at Tivoli Circle on St. Charles Avenue, with Jefferson Davis, Lee's daughters Mary Custis Lee and Mildred Childe Lee, and General P.G.T. Beauregard present. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 and removed on May 19, 2017.

The circle around the column was long known as Lee Circle, renamed after the 2017 removal. The statue faced north, toward the general's old military adversaries, a detail tied to local lore. Jazz ambassador Wynton Marsalis cited a 2014 conversation with Mayor Mitch Landrieu as the push to take the monument down.

The monument stood in the center of Tivoli Circle, renamed Lee Circle, on St. Charles Avenue, where streetcar tracks and roadways circled the column. The statue and its base were removed on May 19, 2017, so nothing of the monument remains at the site today.

The Lee figure measured 16 feet 6 inches on an 8-foot-4-inch base, atop a 60-foot column with an interior staircase, per a City of New Orleans schematic released on May 19, 2017. The statue faced north, which local lore said let Lee look toward his military adversaries. In January 1953 the statue was lifted off for foundation repairs and returned a year later.
