Kip slobode, punim nazivom Sloboda prosvjetljuje svijet, kolokvijalno poznat i kao Lady Liberty, jest kolosalni neoklasični kip u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama koji je napravio francuski kipar Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi. Kip se nalazi na ostrvu Liberty u njujorškoj luci. Svečano je postavljen 28. oktobra 1886. kao poklon francuskog naroda Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama. Od 1924. Kip slobode sastavni je dio Nacionalnog spomenika Kip slobode, a od 1984. uvršten je na UNESCO-ov spisak Svjetske kulturne baštine.
Kip predstavlja lik Libertas, rimsku boginju slobode, ogrnutu plaštem. Napravljen je od bakra sa čeličnim potporama, a sa vanjske strane prekriven bronzanim omotačem. Stoji na ogromnom temelju sa gore ispruženom desnom rukom u kojoj drži pozlaćenu baklju.
