The Statue of Field Marshal Keith is a Category B listed monument on Broad Street in Peterhead, Scotland, dedicated to James Keith, a Scottish soldier and Generalfeldmarschall of the Royal Prussian Army. The statue, which stands in front of Peterhead's Town House and faces east (Keith's head is turned to the northeast), was presented by William I, German Emperor. It is a zinc replica of one made of marble that originally stood in Wilhelmplatz, Berlin, but is now in the city's Bode Museum.
