'''大军团广场'''（Grand Army Plaza）位于[[曼哈顿]][[59街]]与[[第五大道]]交叉路口，[[中央公园]]的东南角，[[广场饭店]]前。兴建广场的构思最早是由雕塑家卡尔·比特在1898年建议。它得名于[[波多马克军团]]。由Carrère and Hastings建筑事务所设计，于1916年完成。

广场为椭圆形，由59街平分为南北两部分。北部有[[威廉·特库姆塞·舍曼|谢尔曼]]的金色骑马雕像，作者是奥古斯塔斯·圣·高登斯。广场南部有[[约瑟夫·普立策]]出资的普利策纪念喷泉。喷泉顶部的罗马丰腴女神波蒙那铜像由卡尔·比特设计。1990年，广场进行整修，耗资370万美元。<ref name="Citycyclopedia">Kenneth T.

橢圓形廣場有兩個主要功能。首先是為[[布魯克林展望公園]]提供一個適當的宏偉主入口，它確實做到了。第二個更實用：路由從幾條主要通道進出的交通。八條街道匯聚在大軍廣場的兩條同心環路上。這些道路是連接鄰近社區與這個相當大的自治市鎮的其餘部分的主要動脈。廣場上有雄偉的[[凱旋門]]、[[噴泉]]和幾尊著名的雕像。
