The Women's Military Memorial at Arlington, officially known as the Women in Military Service for America Memorial, is a significant memorial dedicated to women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. It is located at the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia and was dedicated in 1997.

Architecturally, the memorial combines historic structures with modern design. The complex incorporates the monumental arches of the cemetery's entrance and complements them with glass walls engraved with quotes and images of women in the military. A visitor center documents the history and contributions of female service members in all conflicts, from the Revolutionary War to the present day.

Inside the memorial are exhibits, multimedia installations, and a Hall of Honor, which records the names of registered female veterans. A reflecting water fountain and the open terrace provide a place of rest and remembrance.

The Women’s Military Memorial serves a dual function: it honors the often overlooked role of women in military history and also serves as an educational institution, informing the public about their service, sacrifice, and achievements.
