The equestrian statue of Frederick the Great is a sculpture in cast bronze at the east end of Unter den Linden in Berlin, honouring King Frederick II of Prussia.

Frederick II (24 January 1712–17 August 1786) ruled the Kingdom of Prussia from 1740 until 1786. His most significant accomplishments during his reign included his military victories, his re-organization of Prussian armies, his patronage of the arts and the Enlightenment and his final success against great odds in the Seven Years' War. Frederick was the last Hohenzollern monarch titled King in Prussia and declared himself King of Prussia after achieving sovereignty over most historically Prussian lands in 1772. Prussia had greatly increased its territories and became a leading military power in Europe under his rule. He became known as Frederick the Great and was nicknamed "The Old Fritz" by the Prussian people and eventually the rest of Germany.
