The equestrian statue of Frederick III (German: Reiterstandbild Friedrich III; Polish: Pomnik konny Fryderyka III) was a neoclassical monument in Szczecin, Poland, placed at the current Adam Mickiewicz Square, at the southwestern end of the Stefan Żeromski Park. It was a bronze equestrian statue of Frederick III, the King of Prussia from 1831 to 1888, and the Emperor of Germany in 1888. The monument was designed by Ludwig Manzel, unveiled in 1913, and removed and subsequently destroyed in 1942. Currently, since 1960, the statue of Adam Mickiewicz stands in its place.
