The Josephine Shaw Lowell Memorial Fountain is an outdoor fountain in Bryant Park, Manhattan, New York memorializing Josephine Shaw Lowell, a social worker active in the late 19th century.

The black granite memorial commemorates social worker Josephine Shaw Lowell, who founded the Charity Organization Society.

[1] According to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, Shaw was the first female member of the New York State Board of Charities; the fountain marks the "first woman to be honored by a major monument" in the city.

[2] In 2009 the fountain was winterized with the installation of an internal electric heating system, enabling it to be left on in subzero temperatures and gather icicles.

[3] The fountain is switched off during extended cold spells to prevent enough ice gathering to cause structural damage.
