Frihedsgudinden er en statue i New Yorks havn, som byder velkommen til rejsende, der kommer fra søsiden. Værkets fulde titel er Liberty Enlightening the World. Statuen er en gave fra Frankrig. Den er lavet af den franske billedhugger Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, som blev født i Colmar, hvor der er rejst en kopi i cirka kvart størrelse af Frihedsgudinden for at ære ham. Kopien er placeret i en rundkørsel i indkørselen til byen. Bartholdi huskes i dag især for skabelsen af Frihedsgudinden.
