Čeština: Washingtonův monument většinou označuje velký bílý obelisk na západním konci National Mall ve Washingtonu, D.C.

Man påbegyndte bygningen af monumentet i 1848, men det stod imidlertid først færdigt i 1884, omtrent tredive år efter arkitektens død. Obelisken er lavet af marmor, granit og sandsten.
