The Statue of Johan Ludvig Runeberg is a statue dedicated to the Finnish-Swedish author, national poet and priest Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804–1877), designed and sculpted by his son Walter Runeberg (1838–1920). The statue is located in Esplanadi Park in Helsinki.

Runeberg is depicted at the age of about 55, dressed in a priest's robe. His right hand is resting on his chest as if he is giving a speech.

At the foot of the pedestal stands a young woman wrapped in bearskin, symbolizing the Maiden of Finland. She holds a laurel wreath and an inscription with the words of three verses of the Finnish national anthem in Runeberg's native Swedish.

The Finnish national poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804-77) was already the subject of a personality cult and glorification by literary critics during his lifetime. As a result, younger generations of poets stood in his shadow and raised critical voices. Runeberg's influence and veneration were not only national, but also extended to other Nordic countries such as Russia, Germany, France and Great Britain.
