Plac Trzech Krzyży (Triple Cross Square) is a large square in downtown Warsaw, Poland, lying on the Royal Route between ulica Nowy Świat (New World Street), to the north, and Aleje Ujazdowskie (Ujazdów Avenue).

In the Square stands, since 1818, the neoclassist St. Alexander's Church. Originally, the square likewise bore the saint's name.

The Square takes its present name from three crosses: one atop St. Alexander's Church, and two on columns several dozen meters away, facing the church's entrance.
