Robert Louis Stevenson Memorial, Bronze and granite memorial in Portsmouth Square, San Francisco, United States.

The Robert Louis Stevenson Memorial is an outdoor memorial in Portsmouth Square, San Francisco, commemorating the Scottish writer. It was created by architect Willis Polk, artist Bruce Porter, and sculptor Douglas Tilden, who first approached the San Francisco Board of Supervisors with plans after Stevenson's death in 1894.

The project began after Robert Louis Stevenson died in 1894, when architect Willis Polk, artist Bruce Porter and sculptor Douglas Tilden brought plans to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. The supervisors first rejected the proposal; a simplified design was then funded privately and realized in Portsmouth Square, near where Stevenson had lived before moving his family to Samoa for his health.

Stevenson lived just around the corner from Portsmouth Square before moving his family to Samoa for his health, and the memorial marks that link. The project was first taken to the Board of Supervisors by architect Willis Polk, artist Bruce Porter and sculptor Douglas Tilden; rejected at first, it went ahead with private funding.

The memorial sits in a busy area of Portsmouth Square and is easily accessible while exploring Chinatown on foot. You can visit at any time of day, and the location offers benches and sitting areas nearby for rest and observation.
