Rankin County Confederate Monument, Civil War memorial in Brandon, Mississippi, United States.

The Rankin County Confederate Monument is a 37-foot-tall memorial on the downtown square of Brandon, Mississippi. A seven-foot granite statue of a Confederate soldier in a lookout posture faces west atop a marble pillar and stepped base. Below the statue, on the west side, is a relief of a crossed rifle, bayonet and sword. Poetry is inscribed on all four sides of the square base.

The monument was erected in 1907 by the Brandon Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and was dedicated on September 29, 1907, when Daisy McLaurin Stevens, president of the Mississippi Division of the UDC, spoke at the ceremony. It belongs to the wave of similar memorials raised in Southern parks and squares between about 1870 and the First World War. Local tradition holds that it marks the spot where General Sherman ordered his troops to stack arms during the Siege of Brandon. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 1, 1997.

Each face of the square base carries unattributed poetry in capital letters. The north face reads "States' rights and home rule... truth crushed to the Earth will rise again"; the south is a "Love's tribute" to men who marched under the "Stars and Bars"; the west repeats "Lest we forget." A line also credits E.J. Martin, a local Masonic grand master, with laying the cornerstone.

The monument is located at the intersection of Government Street and North Street in downtown Brandon's historic district and is easily accessible on foot. The site offers clear views from street level and sits near other historic buildings in the area.

Unlike many other similar memorials, this monument faces west toward the direction Union troops entered Brandon during the war. This unusual orientation makes the site noteworthy among those interested in the war's local history.
