The Hermes Ludovisi is a Hellenistic sculpture of the god Hermes in his form of Hermes Psychopompus. It is made of Italic marble and is a 1st century AD Roman copy after a bronze original of the 5th century BC which is traditionally attributed to the young Phidias.

Found in Anzio, it was acquired for the Ludovisi collection and is now on show at the Palazzo Altemps.
