Littlefield Fountain is a monument by Italian-born sculptor Pompeo Coppini, located on the campus of The University of Texas at Austin in Austin, Texas.

The fountain was built with money from a $250,000 trust established by Major George W. Littlefield as a World War I memorial.[1] It was unveiled in 1933, at a time when the Old Main Building was still in use. [2]
