The Reform Monument is a Category B listed monument on Broad Street, at its junction with Longate, in Peterhead, Scotland, built in 1833. A Roman doric column, it is surmounted by arms of Earl Marischal, inspired by the gateway of Inverugie Castle. ^[1] (Architectural historian Charles McKean wrote that the arms were "robbed" from the castle.) ^[2]

The Reform Monument should not be confused with the Reform Tower in the Meethill area of Peterhead, built a year earlier. ^{[3] [4]}
