The Commando Memorial is a monument in Lochaber, Scotland, dedicated to the men of the original British Commando Forces raised during the Second World War. The memorial is located approximately a mile from Spean Bridge, at the junction of the A82 road and the B8004 road. The memorial overlooks the training areas of the Commando Training Depot which was established in 1942 at Achnacarry Castle.

The monument consists of a bronze statue of three commandos in typical World War II clothing and equipment, including caps, ammunition bags and weapons. They look south, towards Ben Nevis. The statue stands on a stone pedestal that reads: "United we conquer". On the front of the pedestal is a plaque with the text: "In memory of the officers and men of the commandos who died in the Second World War 1939–1945. This country was their training ground." (In memory of the officers and men of the commandos who died in the Second World War 1939–1945. This country was their training ground.)
