Evert Taubes terrass, Stone-paved terrace on Riddarholmen, Stockholm, Sweden.

Evert Taubes terrass is a stone-paved terrace on western Riddarholmen in Stockholm, between the Wrangelska palatset and Riddarfjärden. It is built of large rectangular grey slabs with a stepped edge of cut stone blocks. On it stands a granite pedestal holding a dark bronze sculpture of Evert Taube seated with a lute, one arm outstretched toward Södermalm.

The terrace was laid out in the early 1960s and named after the troubadour Evert Taube in 1983. In 1990, for the centenary of his birth, a bronze sculpture of Taube by Willy Gordon was erected here, a gift from the Society of Evert Taube's Friends. Its granite pedestal is cut from stone from Vinga, Taube's birthplace.

The bronze figure of Evert Taube, wearing a sombrero and poncho, holds his lute in one hand and points with the other across Riddarfjärden toward Södermalm, where he lived. The sculpture was a gift from Sällskapet Evert Taubes vänner. Each Valborgsmässoafton since 1977, except during the 2020–2022 pandemic restrictions, Södermalm's Social Democratic party district has lit a majbrasa here.

The terrace lies between the Wrangelska palatset and Riddarfjärden, part of Norra Riddarholmshamnen on western Riddarholmen, and is reached on foot. The stone paving is laid in large rectangular slabs with a stepped edge of cut stone blocks at the front, so watch the level change near the water side.

The granite pedestal beneath Willy Gordon's 1990 bronze of Evert Taube was quarried at Vinga, the island where Taube was born in 1890. The sculpture was a gift from Sällskapet Evert Taubes vänner, the society of his friends, marking the centenary of his birth.
