This is a list of public art in Philadelphia. The Fairmount Park Art Association estimates that there are 1700 works of public art in the city. The Smithsonian lists over 700 works.

This list applies only to works of public art accessible in an outdoor public space. For example, this does not include artwork visible inside a museum.

Most of the works mentioned are sculptures. When this is not the case (i.e. sound installation, for example) it is stated next to the title.
