Fiskergutten is a sculpture in the Norwegian city of Ålesund.

It was created in 1967 by the sculptor Knut Skinnarland and is intended to symbolize youthful expectations of the future. Fiskergutten, meaning "fisherman's boy" in English, stands on the Apotekertorget square in the city center, directly on the shore of the Ålesundet. To the west is the Svaneapoteket, used as an Art Nouveau center. While today the name "fisherman's boy" is common, Skinnarland originally used a name meaning "greenhorn" to express youthful zeal and expectations of the future.[1]

A copy of the sculpture is located in Akureyri, Iceland, one of Ålesund's twin cities. In the immediate vicinity is the sculpture Sildekona, reminiscent of the herring women.
