The monument to Eleuterio Maisonnave y Cutayar is located in Alicante, Spain. It represents Maisonnave, who was the first mayor of Alicante elected by universal suffrage, as well as a minister of the Gobernación and the founder of the first savings bank in the city of Alicante.
The monument consists of a free-standing statue in cast bronze, the work of the Alicante sculptor Vicente Bañuls, and a polished stone pedestal by José Guardiola Picó. It was inaugurated in 1895.
Originally, the monument was installed in a location near its current site, though it was subsequently moved to the nearby Plaza de Calvo Sotelo.
