In Karlstad, a statue of Gustaf Fröding stands at the intersection of Västra Torggatan and Tingvallagatan at Stora torget.

The statue was erected on August 22, 1996, and was created by the artist Herman Reijers.

The construction was financed by the insamlingsstiftelsen Gustaf Fröding, which was created in 1993 by Sven-Åke Markusson together with the ålderman of Carlstads-gillet, Per-Jan Wållgren, and the landshövding Ingemar Eliasson.
