Monument to the revolutionary victory of the people of Slavonia or Monument to the people-hero of Slavonia (Serbo-Croatian: Spomenik revolucionarnoj pobjedi naroda Slavonije, Spomenik narodu-heroju Slavonije) is a former World War II memorial sculpture by Vojin Bakić, that was located in Kamenska, Brestovac, Croatia. It was destroyed in 1992.

It was built over a decade, from 1957 to 1968. At the time of its opening it was the largest postmodern sculpture in the world. It was dedicated to the people of Slavonia during World War II and made of stainless steel. The opening ceremony was performed on 9 November 1968 and attended by Yugoslav president Josip Broz Tito.

The Monument was destroyed by the Croatian Army in February 1992, after five days of dynamite mining attempts.
