Square Michel-Foucault, Urban park near Collège de France, 5th arrondissement of Paris, France.

Square Michel-Foucault is a small green outdoor area at the intersection of Rue Saint-Jacques and Rue des Écoles in the 5th arrondissement. With benches, paved paths, and a children's play area, this space functions as an oasis between the buildings of the academic neighborhood.

The square was laid out in the late 19th century on the green space in front of the Collège de France, as the western part of the Square Auguste-Mariette-Pacha. It was renamed Square Michel-Foucault in December 2005, honouring the philosopher Michel Foucault (1926-1984), who held the chair of History of Systems of Thought at the Collège de France.

The square honours Michel Foucault (1926–1984), who held the chair of History of Systems of Thought at the Collège de France beside it. Its bronze Dante, made by Jean-Paul Aubé, stands here because the Italian poet frequented the first University of Paris, then near today's Rue Dante and Rue du Fouarre. The sculpture shows Canto XXXII of the Inferno, where Dante's foot strikes the head of Bocca degli Abati.

The square sits at the corner of Rue Saint-Jacques and Rue des Écoles, with its entrance at 16 Rue Jean-de-Beauvais. Maubert-Mutualité on metro line 10 and Cluny-La Sorbonne are the nearest stations, and bus line 63 and 86 stop at Collège de France. The Dante statue stands beside the lawn in front of the Collège de France.

A bronze statue from 1882 depicts Dante Alighieri and references a historical connection between this location and the early University of Paris. The sculpture tells of a literary and academic story that visitors often overlook.
