Lew Wallace is a statue of Lew Wallace by Andrew O'Connor that has been produced in both marble and bronze versions.

The marble version, a gift from the State of Indiana, was unveiled in the National Statuary Hall Collection in the Capitol in Washington, D.C., on January 11, 1910, [1] in a commission that O'Connor received through the intervention of architect Cass Gilbert, with whom O’Connor had previously worked. [2] The same year a bronze version of the work was dedicated in Wallace's home town of Crawfordsville, Indiana, at what was to become the General Lew Wallace Study and Museum. [2]
