This is a list of public art in the City of London, including statues, busts, commemorative plaques and other memorials.

The City of London is the historic nucleus of London as well as its modern financial centre. The City of London Corporation, its municipal governing body, states that "around almost every corner in the City you will find an unusual piece of public art or a commemoration of the City's great history."[1] This article lists the various works by the general geographical area in which they are located.

Since 2010, the City has hosted an annual exhibition of public sculpture, named 'Sculpture in the City'.[2]
