George Washington is a series of five outdoor bronze busts depicting George Washington by Avard Fairbanks, located on the George Washington University campus in Washington, D.C..

5. Southeast corner of 24th Street and I Street (at the western entrance to the Foggy Bottom metro station walkway)

Copyrighted in 1975 and dedicated on February 16, 1993, the sculpture measures approximately 46 x 32 x 27 inches, with a granite base measuring approximately 68 x 42 1/2 x 33 inches.^[2]

On June 1, 2020, campus police found the bust was not in place upon its pedestal during local protests over the George Floyd case, though it was not damaged and found nearby.^[3]
