The Monument to Matvei Platov (Russian: Памятник Матвею Ивановичу Платову) is the first sculpture constructed in Novocherkassk, Rostov Oblast, Russia.

It is dedicated to Matvei Ivanovich Platov, who was a famous Don Ataman, the founder of Novocherkassk, General of the Cavalry and a hero of the Patriotic War of 1812.

The Monument to Matvei Platov was first established one hundred years after his birth, on May 9, 1853, in the city of Novocherkassk, during the reign of Nicholas I.

This monument was built by the famous sculptor Peter Clodt von Jürgensburg and architect A.I.

However, it is not completely authentic: there is no metal fence around it, no canons, and the fountain has also not been restored in its original form.
