The Barron Collier Memorial is a monument erected in honor of Barron Collier, the founder and namesake of Collier County, Florida. Located within Collier-Seminole State Park, it was originally planted by Collier himself to preserve royal palm trees. Later, it was donated to the county and served as a memorial to Barron Collier and those who fought on both sides of the Seminole Wars.
The memorial consists of a bust of Barron Collier placed on a pedestal. The inscription on the pedestal reads: "To the memory of the founder and father of Collier County, Florida, and the faithful friend of all mankind."
The original bust was erected in 1941. A later version, commissioned by the Friends of Collier-Seminole State Park and created in 2021 by Ruben Dario Medina, replaced one that was stolen during Spring Break 2004.
