The Sleeping Lion (Polish: Lew śpiący, German: Schlafender Löwe) is a monument located in the market square, Bytom, Poland.

The monument was initially raised in 1873, to commemorate fallen inhabitants of the Beuthen District in the Franco-Prussian War.

The Sleeping Lion originally stood on top of a plinth, on which the names of the fallen were written.

In 1932 the monument was moved to the Academic Square (Polish: Plac Akademicki).

In 1945, during the Second World War the monument's plinth was destroyed.
