Westland Explorers' Monument, Memorial monument in Hokitika Cemetery, New Zealand.

The Westland Explorers' Monument is a 6.5 meter obelisk made from Sydney sandstone with a three-tiered base in Hokitika Cemetery. The four-sided column tapers upward and carries a flattened pyramid at its peak.

The column was erected in 1868 to honor four men who died during expeditions on the West Coast between 1863 and 1866. It first stood on Weld Street and was moved to the cemetery in 1880 after being considered an obstruction to traffic.

Each face carries an engraved dedication to one of the fallen explorers, listing their name and place of death. This simple form of remembrance ties the men permanently to the mountains and rivers of the West Coast.

The cemetery is at the southern edge of Hokitika and the memorial is visible from the main pathways. The inscriptions are easiest to read in daylight because there is no additional lighting.

George Dobson was a surveyor and engineer murdered in 1866, and his killing spurred the monument's creation; early on it was called the Dobson Memorial. The obelisk was ordered from Sydney by George Sale, the memorial fund's treasurer, without consulting the rest of the committee. It arrived aboard the Lizzie Coleson on 16 October 1867.
