General Artemas Ward is a bronze statue by Leonard Crunelle at Ward Circle, at the intersection of Nebraska Avenue and Massachusetts Avenues in Northwest, Washington, D.C.

As a part of bequest of George Artemas Ward, great grandson of the general, to Harvard University, the sculpture was funded for $50,000. Increases in the cost of bronze made an equestrian memorial un-affordable.

It was dedicated on November 3, 1938, and authorized by (45 Stat. 689). The base of the statue bears this inscription:

ARTEMAS WARD
1727-1800
SON OF MASSACHUSETTS
GRADUATE OF HARVARD COLLEGE
JUDGE AND LEGISLATOR
DELEGATE 1780-1781 TO THE CONTINENTAL CONGRESS
SOLDIER OF THREE WARS

FIRST COMMANDER OF THE PATRIOT FORCES

As part of American Revolution Statuary in Washington, D.C. the statue is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
