The Henry Havelock statue is a bronze public sculpture by William Behnes in Trafalgar Square, City of Westminster, London. The monument honours a Victorian British army officer. The figure wears military uniform and rests one hand on his sword above a stone plinth.

Behnes created this formal likeness for the nineteenth-century group of monuments placed around the square. Its subject led troops during the relief of Lucknow. The Indian Rebellion of 1857 defines that historical setting. The statue stands on one of four plinths among Trafalgar Square’s monuments.

Trafalgar Square took shape after the King’s Mews moved in the 1820s, clearing space for a new public setting. Its official name dates from the 1830s. Nelson’s Column stands at the centre, guarded by large bronze lions. Nearby buildings include the National Gallery, Canada House, and St Martin-in-the-Fields church.
