The Dugald Stewart Monument is a memorial to the Scottish philosopher Dugald Stewart. It is situated on top of Calton Hill, overlooking Edinburgh city centre.

The monument was built in 1831, and modelled Lysicrates Memorial in Athens, Greece. It therefore fits in with other Greek-influenced architecture in the area, such as the National Monument.
