The Amphitrite Fountain, also known as the statue of Amphitrite, and the Felderhoff Fountain, was a Baroque Revival fountain sculpture in the city of Szczecin, Poland, placed at the intersection of current Independence Avenue, Wyszyńskiego Street, and the Victory Square, in front of the Harbour Gate. Designed by Reinhold Felderhoff, it depicted Amphitrite, the goddess of the sea in the Greek mythology, as a nude female figure, standing on a chariot drawn by two galloping horses. It was unveiled in 1902, and removed in 1932, being moved to the Pomeranian State Museum, from where it went missing. It is currently considered as a lost work of art.
