Statue of Harry S. Truman in Athens, Bronze portrait statue in Athens, Greece.

This bronze statue depicts President Harry S. Truman in a formal standing pose and is located in Athens near the National Garden. The sculpture follows the classical style of portrait monuments commonly found in European city centers.

Sculptor Felix de Weldon made the 3.20-metre bronze, erected in 1963 at the corner of Vasilissis Konstantinou and Vasilissis Georgiou B' in Rigillis without permission from the municipal authority. Eight 1.85-metre columns around it carry texts in Greek and English thanking Truman for military and economic aid sent to Greece through the Marshall Plan after World War II.

Eight columns around the statue carry inscriptions in Greek and English: the Greek people's thanks to Truman and his own words on the military and economic aid sent to Greece through the Marshall Plan after World War II. The monument has repeatedly been a target of protest, painted red and pulled down over the decades.

The statue stands at the junction of Vasilissis Konstantinou Avenue 42 and Vasilissis Georgiou B Street in the Rigillis area of central Athens. Eight columns 1.85 metres high surround the marble base, inscribed in Greek and English. The monument has been repeatedly vandalised, so check its condition before visiting.

In 1997 the statue's legs were sawn off and it fell to the ground; it was put back in 1999, during Bill Clinton's visit to Greece. In 2007 demonstrators tied ropes to it and pulled it down, and in 2018 others tried to cut its legs with an angle grinder before police stopped them.
