Vabadussammas ehk "Maailma valgustav Vabadus" on mälestusmärk, mis asub New Yorgi sadamas, täpsemalt New Yorgi ülemlahe Liberty Islandi saarel.
Uusklassitsistlik varase art nouveau tunnustega mälestusmärk avati 28. oktoobril 1886. See oli Prantsusmaa rahva kingitus Ameerika Ühendriikide rahvale ja pidi esialgu valmima 1876. aastal Iseseisvusdeklaratsiooni 100. aastapäevaks. Kuju kavandas Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi, kuju esimene insener oli Eugène Viollet-le-Duc. 1879. aastal Eugene Viollet-le-Duc suri. Tema asemele leidis Bartholdi insener Gustave Eiffeli, kes kavandas terasest sisekonstruktsiooni.
Koos postamendiga on mälestusmärgi kõrgus 93 meetrit, kuju kõrgus on 46,05 meetrit. Skulpturaalne osa, mis kujutab tõrvikut käes hoidvat naist, on vaskkattega, mida toestab sees terassõrestik.
