John Lennon Park is a public park, located in the Vedado district in Havana, Cuba.

On the bench of the park, there is a sculpture of the former Beatles member John Lennon, seated on the bench's left half. On the round at the foot of the bench is an inscription which is a Spanish translation of the English lyrics, "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one" from the song Imagine.

The sculpture of Lennon is not wearing his signature round-lens glasses. However, during the day, a man can be found sitting next to the bench and he will place glasses on the statue if you ask him.
