The Landmark for Peace is a memorial sculpture at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Park on the north side of Indianapolis that honors the contributions of the slain leaders Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy.

The memorial, which features King and Kennedy reaching out to each other, was designed and executed by Indiana artist Greg Perry. The bronze portraits were created by Indianapolis sculptor Daniel Edwards. It is located near the site of RFK's 1968 speech announcing the assassination of Dr. King.

The memorial, funded by the Indiana Pacers Foundation, was dedicated in 1995 with President Bill Clinton in attendance.
