La place Saint-Michel, or Saint-Michel's Square, is a square at an intersection in the Latin Quarter and 6th arrondissement in Paris, France. Its fame comes from its Fountain St. Michel, constructed by Gabriel Davioud in 1855. Originally proposed to be of Napoleon I, it was finally decided that it would be of Saint-Michel with two dragons that gargle water into the fountain.

Its location permits a view of some of the monuments of the "île de la Cité", including the Palais de Justice
