- This is a list of public art in Green Park, one of the Royal Parks of London. Green Park lies between Hyde Park and St James's Park, in the City of Westminster. Much of the present landscaping is the result of remodelling by John Nash in the 1820s, and the park had been cleared of its buildings, dating to the time of Queen Caroline, by 1855. Governments have traditionally been reluctant to situate memorials in the Royal Parks, and there were none in Green Park until the installation of the Canada Memorial in 1994. Since then two further war memorials have been added, with the second (dedicated to the memory of RAF Bomber Command) drawing criticism for "the un-greening of this section of Green Park". (en)

- Fraser's tiling scheme in bright red and green replaced an abstract design of 1969 by Hans Unger, representing a bird's-eye view of trees in Green Park. (en)
- Wrought-iron gates with piers in the Palladian style, originally from a house at Turnham Green belonging to Lord Heathfield. When this was demolished in 1837 they were bought for Chiswick House, but in 1897 they were removed to Devonshire House, which was owned by the same family. This in turn was demolished in 1921, after which the gates were moved to their present site. Restored in 2000. (en)
- One of two winners of an international competition to design "a new, top-quality, low-cost, model drinking fountain", the other being the Trumpet fountain installed in Kensington Gardens. (en)
- The Portland stone cladding of the service buildings is set in bands to suggest strata in a quarry, with enlarged outlines of fossils incised into the stone at eye level, and spiral forms are incised into the granite pavement. (en)
