The Medici lions are a pair of marble sculptures of lions: one of which is Roman, dating to the 2nd century AD, and the other a 16th-century pendant. Both were by 1598 placed at the Villa Medici, Rome. Since 1789 they have been displayed at the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence. The sculptures depict standing male lions with a sphere or ball under one paw, looking to the side. Copies of the Medici lions have been made and publicly installed in over 30 other locations, and smaller versions made in a variety of media; Medici lion has become the term for the type.

  • Los leones de Médici son una pareja de esculturas de mármol de leones, una de ellas de origen romano, y la otra del siglo XVI. Ambas fueron situadas en torno a 1598​ en la Villa Médici de Roma y desde 1789 se han expuesto en la Logia dei Lanzi, Florencia. Las esculturas representan leones de pie con una esfera o bola bajo una pata, mirando a un lado. Los leones de Médici han sido copiados, directamente o con variaciones, en muchos otros lugares. (es)
  • Les Lions des Médicis sont deux sculptures représentant des lions qui étaient placés de chaque côté de l'entrée de la Villa Médicis à Rome. Chaque lion tient sous sa patte une sphère, en référence aux six boules constituant les armes de la Maison de Médicis. Installés depuis 1600, ils ont finalement été déplacés en 1789 à la Loggia dei Lanzi à Florence, même si des copies y sont toujours présentes. Assimilé à un symbole de richesse et de puissance, on retrouve de nombreuses copies de ce thème dans le monde. (fr)
  • Medici-lejonen är två marmorskulpturer av lejon uppförda i slutet av 1500-talet vid Villa Medici i Rom, och sedan 1789 placerade i vid i Florens. Den ena skulpturen var en omarbetning av en antik relief. Skulpturerna avbildar stående lejonhanar som tittar åt sidan och har en sfär eller boll under ena tassen. Skulpturerna har blivit kopierade och tjänat som förebild till liknande offentliga skulpturer på över 30 andra platser. (sv)
  • Als Medici-Löwen werden die beiden Löwen-Skulpturen bezeichnet, die um 1598 am Treppenaufgang der Gartenseite der Villa Medici in Rom aufgestellt und 1789 in die Loggia dei Lanzi in Florenz versetzt worden sind. Während des 18. und 19. Jahrhundert wurden zahlreiche Kleinskulpturen von Medici-Löwen aus Bronze, Alabaster, Porzellan etc. produziert. Die Medici-Löwen sind nicht zu verwechseln mit dem Marzocco, dem emblematischen Wappentier der Republik Florenz. (de)
