Monument to Peter I in Vyborg, Bronze monument in Petrovsky Park, Vyborg, Russia.

The Monument to Peter I stands in Petrovsky Park and displays a bronze figure of the Russian Emperor on a pedestal. The sculpture sits within the park's landscape and serves as a focal point for visitors walking through the area.

The monument was unveiled on 14 June 1910, the bicentenary of Vyborg's surrender to Russian troops, following a proposal by General N. N. Kaigorodov. Sculptor Leopold Bernshtam depicted Peter standing by a cannon in the uniform of the Preobrazhensky Regiment, holding the siege plan. Finnish troops toppled it in 1918 and again in 1941; after restoration it returned to the rock in August 1954.

The statue's gaze meets that of Torkel Knutsson's monument across the old town: the two figures, symbolising opposing powers, both look toward Vyborg Castle. A naval mortar stands at the memorial spot marked with the carved monogram and cross, and another mortar is placed before the statue.

The statue stands on the summit of Petrovskaya Gora, the cliff beside the former site of St. Peter and Paul Cathedral, and the main street of the Old Town is oriented toward it. The top of the rock still carries the carved monogram and cross attributed to Peter, and an old ship's mortar decorates the memorial spot, with a second mortar placed in front of the monument. The views take in Vyborg Castle.

The redoubt on Petrovskaya Hill, long linked in legend to Peter I, was actually built in 1734 for the Korono-Sankt-Anna fortress. The rock still bears a carved "P I" and cross, first recorded in 1827; the monogram resembles that of Paul I rather than Peter's own.
