The RoboCop statue is a bronze statue of RoboCop, a fictional cybernetically enhanced Detroit Police Department officer from the 1987 film RoboCop. The idea for the statue originated with a 2011 exchange between Detroit mayor Dave Bing and a pseudonymous user on Twitter. In response to the suggestion that Detroit have a statue of RoboCop to rival Philadelphia's statue of Rocky, Bing replied that there were no plans to erect such a statue in the city. The exchange went viral and a subsequent Kickstarter campaign raised $67,436 to fund the construction of the statue.

The completion and public display of the RoboCop statue have been delayed due to several setbacks, including difficulties in securing a site, legal issues with MGM, and artist Giorgio Gikas battling cancer. The statue was completed in 2021 and as of 2023 is in storage at an undisclosed location. It is planned to be displayed in Detroit's Eastern Market. In addition to Giorgio Gikas sand casting the pieces, the statue was welded by Nick Phlegar and Mike Birtles.
