"George Washington" is a renowned life-size marble sculpture by French artist Jean-Antoine Houdon, which stands as one of the most famous and highly regarded portraits of the United States' first president. Completed in 1788, the statue is based on a life mask and other measurements taken by Houdon when he visited Mount Vernon in 1785. Commissioned by the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1784, the work was intended to commemorate Washington's military and political achievements.

The sculpture is notable for its realism and detail, capturing Washington's likeness with striking accuracy. Houdon's mastery of neoclassical sculpture is evident in the work's dignified representation of Washington, who is depicted standing in classical attire, a symbol of the Roman Republic's civic virtues that the new American Republic sought to emulate. The sculpture includes a symbolic fasces, a bundle of rods that represents authority, and a plow, which signifies Washington's retirement to his farm after the Revolutionary War.

Houdon's "George Washington" has been praised for its artistic excellence and its role in shaping the image of Washington in the American consciousness. The original marble statue is displayed in the rotunda of the Virginia State Capitol in Richmond, Virginia. Numerous bronze replicas and plaster casts have been made and are exhibited in various locations, including the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, reflecting the enduring legacy and widespread admiration of both the subject and the artist's work.
