Arbetarhustru is a sculpture by Elma Oijens located at Landala torg in Gothenburg. It symbolises the large, working-class families of the Landala district. The work was created at the initiative of Gamla Landalapojkar, with Arthur Lund at the forefront, following a collection of funds.
The sculpture was unveiled in 1980. The inscription on the pedestal is by Holger Oijens and reads: "Med fast hand, stark av arbete, mjuk av kärlek, höll du samman hemmet."
A copy of this statue is located on the inner courtyard of the Örnen in Malmö, with an entrance from Föreningsgatan.
